I am interested in working with students on research projects in various areas of applied mathematics, including partial differential equations (PDEs), stochastic PDEs, scientific computing, optimization, and numerical methods for mathematical models.
If you are interested in exploring advanced topics in applied mathematics, please feel free to contact me to discuss this opportunity further. You are also welcome to share this information with other students who may be interested.
