Published multiple academic papers and participated in various projects. Specific achievements include deriving a priori scaling laws for heat transport problems and constructing numerical schemes that provably approximate global optimizers of nonlinear PDE-constrained problems.
Research Experience
Currently a W1 Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) Erlangen-Nürnberg. Previously held an Imperial College Research Fellowship in the Department of Aeronautics. Awarded a Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Fellowship at WHOI (2015) and an EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship (2018).
Education
Received a PhD and Master Eng. in Aeronautics from Imperial College London, and held a research position in Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. PhD thesis: 'Construction of optimal background fields using semidefinite programming'.
Background
Research interests include optimization, dynamical systems, fluid mechanics, and partial differential equations. Uses a combination of mathematical analysis and numerical tools for convex optimization to study nonlinear differential equations. Develops fast algorithms for large-scale structured optimization problems.
