Research Description
By training, I am an applied mathematician who enjoys to develop accurate, efficient and robust numerical methods to solve real-world problems. Mainly, I focus on developing finite element methods for partial differential equations defined on surfaces. Such problems have many interesting applications; tumor growth, butterfly wing pigmentation and cell motility to name a few.
During my postdoc years I got interested in mathematical biology and started several collaborations in this area. This is a very exciting area of my research.
