Mathematics knows no races or geographic boundaries;
for mathematics, the cultural world is one country.

About Me (short vitae)

I am a Mathematician interested in anything and everything that helps me understand the origin and intricate behavior of nonlinear and nonlocal Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) in both classical and quantum worlds.

I am the current chair of the Centre for Analysis, Scientific Computing and Applications (CASA) at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), and lead the Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control group within CASA. I am also a board member of the Center for Quantum Materials and Technology Eindhoven, and a founding member of the Calculus of Variations Netherlands (CalcVarNL).
