I am currently an associate professor of Mathematics at Washington State University. I joined the department in August, 2012. Previously, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, UC Berkeley and the Center for Nonlinear Studies, Los Alamos National Laboratory, where I conducted research on nanoscale fluid dynamics and mechanical properties of DNA. I did my Ph.D. at the University of Crete, Greece, under the suprvision of Prof. George Tsironis, and defended my doctoral thesis entitled “Nonlinear Localization in Model Systems and Materials” in March, 2003.
Presently, my research interests are in:
- Stochastic Processes
- Nonlinear Dynamics
- Computational Fluid Dynamics
- Multiscale Modeling
Application areas:
- Active Dynamics at small scales (cell migration, nanorobots, etc)
- DNA Allostery and Protein-DNA interactions
- Drug deilvery
- Fluid dynamics at small scales (Fluctuating Hydrodynamics)
- Stochastic Reaction-Diffusion processes in Social Sciences and Ecology
- Congratulations to Hayden Arch for receiving the 2018-2019 Auvil Fellowship (June, 2018)
- Our Paper on DNA allostery was publisned in Nat. Scientific Reports! (March 12, 2015)
- Congratulations to Logan for receiving the 2015-2016 Auvil Fellowship (June, 2015)
- Congratulations to Daniel Herrera for winning the first award in "Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, and Information Sciences" category at SURCA 2015 (March 30, 2015)
- Congratulations to Daniel Herrera for receiving a LSAMP Scholarship for undergraduate research. (September 26, 2014)
- Our project on Nanoscale Fluid Dynamocs was funded by NSF: Computational Mathematics (July 9, 2014)
- Congratulations to Joe Traverso for receiving the first Carson Scholarship (June 12, 2014)
- Congratulations to Joe Traverso for winning the first award in "Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, and Information Sciences" category at SURCA 2014 (March 30, 2014)
