Dr Mariia Dvoriashyna

I am a Chancellor's Fellow (equivalent to a Lecturer) at the School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh. My research interests lie in applying mathematics to problems in biology and physiology. The general scope of my research is to develop continuum models aimed at understanding and explaining experimentally and/or clinically observed phenomena and predicting physical quantities of interest. 

Prior to this position, I was a research associate in the Oxford Industrial and Applied Mathematics group (Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford) and in the Biological Physics & Mechanics group (Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge). I obtained my PhD in 2019 from the University of Genoa (Italy)  with a thesis titled Mathematical Modelling of Fluid Flows in the Human Eye.
