Current
I am currently a tenure track Assistant professor (biträdande universitetslektor") in Applied Mathematics at the Faculty of Engineering of Lund University. Before joining Lund University, I was a Lecturer in Applied Probability at the The University of Sheffield. Previously, I worked at the Chair of Applied Analysis at TU Dresden, and at Chebychev Laboratory of St. Petersburg State University as postdoc of Stanislav Smirnov.
I got my Ph.D. from University of Bonn, where my research was supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research via a Klaus Murmann graduate fellowship, and by the Bonn International Graduate School for Mathematics.
My research and scientific education is strongly connected to Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa and University of Pisa. My last longer stay was 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.
