My name is Maria Han Veiga and I am an incoming assistant professor of Mathematics at Ohio State. My research focuses on numerical analysis for hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations, scientific machine learning and the interplay between these two fields. I am interested in developing theoretically sound methods and algorithms that work in practice, and I enjoy collaborations with other fields, such as astrophysics, medicine and engineering.
I am originally from Lisbon, Portugal. I received a bachelor's degree from Imperial College in Mathematics. Then, I did a MSc in Computational Science and Engineering at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. After a short stint in industry as a Machine Learning researcher, I joined the Zurich Computational Science and Mathematics Graduate School as a PhD candidate, supervised by Rémi Abgrall and Romain Teyssier. I defended my PhD in 2019 from the University of Zurich.
In 2020, I joined the Michigan Institute for Data Science as a Postdoctoral fellow, and the Mathematics department at University of Michigan as an Assistant Professor and Van Loo Postdoctoral Fellow in 2021.
