Elena Luca
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
The Cyprus Institute
About me:
I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Climate and Atmosphere Research Center at The Cyprus Institute.
Prior to taking up this position, I was a Senior Research Fellow working in Applied Mathematics in the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Sciences of the Department of Mathematics at the University College London.
I earned my Ph.D in Applied Mathematics in 2016 at Imperial College London under the supervision of Prof. Darren G. Crowdy. The title of my thesis was “A new transform approach to biharmonic boundary value problems in circular domains with application to Stokes flows”.
Research Interests:
Applied Complex Analysis, Viscous flows, Transform methods, Unified Transform Method, Wiener–Hopf method, Riemann–Hilbert problems
