Â鶹ÊÓƵ

I am an associate professor in applied and computational mathematics in the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences.

Before joining the Â鶹ÊÓƵ I worked

• at the University of Oxford (2016-2019)
• at Pembroke College (2018-2019)
• and at ETH Zurich (2011-2016).

You can learn more about my academic family . My Erdös number is . My ORCiD is .

I am a numerical analyst and I study numerical methods for PDE-constrained shape optimization and its applications. I am also interest in numerical software. My main project is the open source library . You can find a complete list of my publications on .

• MA3077 Operational Research (also MA4077 and MA7077)

I am happy to discuss the role of mathematics in society and industrial collaborations via student projects.
