NWO Veni Grant

I heard today that my proposal for the NWO Veni has been funded! Now looking forward to the research project which is going to be focused on the mathematical theory of splines and their use in simulations. NWO’s official announcement can be found here.

Seminars ahoy!

During my time at UT Austin, I really enjoyed the frequent seminars given by excellent researchers from within UT Austin as well as from all over the world. This is one aspect that I have wanted to replicate for sometime at Delft. Finally, after postponements due to Covid, me and my co-organizors Kristof Cools and Marieke Kootte, were able to kickoff our own numerical analysis-focused seminar series today and I am quite excited about the whole affair! Our first speaker was Carolina Urzua-Torres who spoke on analysis of a space-time boundary element formulation for the wave equation. We have a great list of speakers booked for Q1 and Q2 with more to come, and Marieke is working on a soon-to-be-announced accompaniement to the series that I am really looking forward to.
