I am an Assistant Professor at the School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences of the Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh.

From August 2018 to February 2020 I was a Research Fellow at the Department of Statistics of the University of Warwick and from June 2017 to July 2018 I was a Research Associate at the Department of Mathematics of King's College London. I completed my PhD in 2017 at the Institute for Applied Mathematics at the University of Bonn in Germany, where I worked under the supervision of Prof. Andreas Eberle.

My research interests include:

- stochastic differential equations

- mathematical foundations of machine learning:

• mean-field optimization

• optimal transport and gradient flows

• stochastic gradient algorithms

- Lévy processes

- ergodicity of Markov processes

- Monte Carlo methods:

• sampling via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) 

• Multi-Level Monte Carlo

My PhD students: 

- Linshan Liu (September 2021 - present)

- Razvan-Andrei Lascu (May 2022 - present)
