I am a scientist and a mathematician, and currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UC, Santa Barbara. Previously, I was an Instructor of Applied Mathematics at MIT. I received my PhD in Mathematics from the University of Oxford. At Oxford, I was a student of Lincoln college and a former senior scholar. I also have an Engineering degree from ESPCI Paris and a master in theoretical physics of complex systems from Pierre and Marie Curie University.
