Academic Advising

I recently joined the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at the University of Ottawa (Fall 2026). I am looking forward to start advising and working with undergraduate, Master and PhD students. If you are interested in my research (click here for more info), please feel free to contact me by email or in person.
For Master and PhD students interested in applied and computational mathematics, I also recommend to regurlarly check the schedule of the following seminar hosted by our department:
