Primary focus of my study has been in the field of applied mathematics. My interest in mathematics and its application has developed over several years and led me to (i) polyvalent Engineer’s Degree, (ii) master in Engineering Mathematics, (iii) second master in Mathematics, and (iv) my PhD dissertation in the area of applied and Computational mathematis. My research interests span several areas of Applied Mathematics: Numerical analysis, Numerical Methods, Scientific Computing, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Vibrations, Inverse Eigenvalue Problems, Mechanical and Civil engineering, and Mathematical Modeling. I am comfortable working in any of the above area. I am very familiar with the use of technology and I have integrated several mathematical software in my research and in my teaching.

My academic activities have given me the capacity and confidence to work with people from a variety of different backgrounds. I believe that through the research for my dissertation I have shown myself to be capable of organising my time effectively and using my initiative to come up with original ideas and I believe that I can successful in bringing grant funding to the department. I will definitely enjoy teaching mathematics and being a part of this university.

The experience I have gained through obtaining polyvalent Engineer’s Degree (a multi-disciplinary intensive engineering program with combination of courses from mechanical, civil, electrical and industrial engineering) and my research experience in the areas of applied mathematics has provided me with the background necessary to successfully assume the position Assistant professor/ Polyvalent Engineer. I am especially interested in and pleased the see the amount of interdisciplinary research and cooperation with other groups.

Currently, I am a graduate student at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, VA and will obtain a PhD degree in mathematics in February 2008. I have highlighted a few of the initial research directions I am interested in. These are starting points for exploration, and many interesting and unexpected research challenges are sure to arise during the process. I have collaborated and co-authored international papers with researchers in different areas of Mathematics and Mechanics from different Universities, hoping to grow this aspect of my research even further in the future. It would be very exciting to be involved in such an active research group and I would very much like to use my skills as a mathematician to enhance the research.
