ANASTASIA DOIKOU

I am a Professor of Mathematics at School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences at Heriot-Watt University and a member of the Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Edinburgh. My research interests lie in the areas of mathematical physics and algebra.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

I am a mathematical physicist and my research focuses on quantum and classical integrable systems and quantum algebras. More specifically, I have been studying integrable quantum spin chains and Bethe ansatz techniques, quantum groups or Hopf algebras, braid groups, Hecke and Temperley-Lieb algebras, solutions of the Yang-Baxter and reflection equations, and their set-theoretic versions. I have also been working on classical discrete integrable systems and integrable field theories, in particular on Hamiltonian methods, dressing techniques and solitons in integrable ODEs & PDEs.

SHORT BIOGRAPHY

I studied physics as an undergraduate at National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and I obtained my PhD in theoretical and mathematical physics from University of Miami in 1999. Between 1999 and 2007 I held postdoctoral positions at Durham University, University of York (EPSRC Fellowship), LAPTH-Annecy and University of Bologna. I was assistant professor at University of Patras before joining the School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences (MACS) at Heriot-Watt University in 2013 as a reader.

Research Portal

I am in the editorial board of the newly founded journal JoNAS - Journal of Non-Associative Structures.

The Journal of Non-Associative Structures, is a diamond open-access, electronic, international research journal that publishes research and survey articles in mathematics since 2026. It is dedicated to publishing high-quality original research articles in non-associative algebra and its applications to geometry, combinatorics, mathematical analysis, mathematical physics, and other areas of pure and applied mathematics. The journal does not charge author processing fees of any sort, and all published articles are available for free.
