Hi, welcome to my webpage!
As of October 2022, I am an assistant professor (tenured in October 2023) and a Delft Technology Fellow at the Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics, TU Delft. My main research area is the analysis of partial differential equations arising from the applied sciences.
Together with Y. van Gennip, A. Geyer and M. Gnann, I am organising the Seminar in PDE and Applications at TU Delft.
In August 2023, I was awarded a Veni grant from the NWO (Dutch Research Council) with my project entitled "Mathematical analysis of metastability in complex biological systems". The project duration is from February 2024 to February 2027.
Here is my
