Current
I am a researcher in applied mathematics, a member of the Global Young Academy and a European citizen by conviction. Mathematics brought me to live in and work in 7 countries in Europe, notably at the Faculty of Engineering of Lund University, the School of Mathematics and Statistics at The University of Sheffield, and at Chebychev Laboratory of St. Petersburg State University as postdoc of Stanislav Smirnov.
My research and scientific education is strongly connected to Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa and University of Pisa. My last longer stay was as a postdoc in the Stochastic Analysis group.
Research Outline
My research deals with phenomena arising in physics and image processing. To solve the questions arising there, I use tools from applied analysis, partial differential equations and probability theory. My goal is to capture the qualitative and quantitative behavior of solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations, which can be perturbed by noise. For more details, please see my Research page.
You can find my preprints on the servers of Calculus of Variations and Geometric Measure Theory in Pisa and arxiv.org
My work is also linked on my publications page, where also supplementary data to some papers is available.
Apart from Maths...
...I do care a great deal about equal opportunities in academia. What I mean with this and why it is not (only) about women in maths you can read on my Unconscious bias 101 page.
I am passionate about maths communication and occasionally talk at Science Slams. I highly recommend the IMAGINARY project as an excellent platform for mathematics communication and visualisation.
I volunteered for many years at Studies Without Borders, among other duties coordinating their scholarship programme for students from the Northern Caucasus Region. The programme has won the 2011's Rector's award for extraordinary achievement of a student organization. Read my reportage on Chechnya here.
