AVAILABLE PROJECTS
I offer various BSc and MSc projects dealing with analysis of PDEs appearing in biological processes and kinetic theory. Please get in touch with me for more information. Currently, there are two joint MEPs available:
Interdisciplinary MEP Project: Analysis of pattern formation in multi-species microbial aggregates (joint supervision with Dr. Rebeca Gonzalez-Cabaleiro from the Faculty of Applied Sciences. )
This project comes with a small grant which allows the student to travel for an international conference/workshop in mathematical biology and present her/his work there. Please get in touch with me for more information.
Please note that these projects are for TU Delft students. TU Delft M.Sc. in Applied Mathematics students can access the available M.Sc. thesis projects within Mathematical Physics group via this link.
