Personal statement

I am a Lecturer in Mathematics and Statistics at Strathclyde. Before this, I was a Chapman Fellow in the Mathematics Department at Imperial College London and, prior to that, a postdoctoral researcher at the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster, working in the Mathematical Optimisation group led by Prof. Benedikt Wirth. I completed my PhD at the University of Heidelberg under the supervision of Prof. Roland Herzog and earned my undergraduate and MSc degrees at Escuela Politécnica Nacional del Ecuador, where I was part of the Research Center on Mathematical Modelling (MODEMAT) under the guidance of Prof. Juan Carlos De los Reyes and Prof. Pedro Merino.

My research focuses on computational PDE-constrained optimisation, with particular interest in non-smooth optimisation algorithms and their applications, data assimilation, shape optimisation, and optimisation on manifolds.
