I am currently an assistant 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 supervision 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 Differential Equations
- Multiscale Modeling
- Computational Fluid Dynamics
- Nonlinear Dynamics
Application areas:
- Stochastic Reaction-Diffusion modeling in Social Sciences and Ecology
- DNA Allostery and Protein-DNA interactions
- Drug deilvery
- Energy storage and transfer in nanoscopic devices (nanorobots, nanopropulsion, nanocatalysis, etc)
- Our Paper on DNA allostery was publisned in Nat. Scientific Reports! (March 12, 2015)
- Congratulations to Logan Wickham for receiving the 2015-2016 Auvil Fellowship. (, 2015)
- Congratulations to Daniel Herrera for winning the "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)
- Congratulations to Joe Traverso for winning the "Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, and Information Sciences" category at SURCA 2014 (March 30, 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 receiving the 2013-2014 Auvil Fellowship. (June, 2013)
