Vishnu Nandakumaran

I recently completed my PhD in Mathematics at the University of Notre Dame, where I worked in geometric analysis and partial differential equations. My research focused on geometric variational problems, particularly minimal surfaces and their singularities.

I am now based in Toronto and exploring opportunities in quantitative finance and related quantitative fields, where I hope to bring my mathematical background to applied problems in modelling, data, and risk. 

My PhD advisors were Gábor Székelyhidi and Nicholas Edelen. My doctoral research studied minimal surfaces and geometric variational problems, with a particular focus on perturbations of singular minimal cones and the analysis of the minimal surface equation near these singular structures.
