About
After getting PhD in Mathematics from University of Ulm (Germany) under Prof. Wolfgang Arendt, I spent a few years as an Assistant professor at Catholic University of Eichstaett (Germany). Afterwards, I moved to University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus and spent 15 years there as a professor, before moving to George Mason University in January 2020. I had the great pleasure to work with many top reserachres in both theoretical and applied mathematics in my career.
Current Research
