NIKOS SAVVA

Undergraduate studies in Applied Mathematics Engineering and Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA, 2002); PhD in Applied Mathematics from the Massachussetts Institute of Technology (USA, 2007). He worked at the Chemical Engineering Department of Imperial College London (Postdoctoral Research Associate, 2007-2012), at the Department of Mathematics of Cardiff University (Lecturer, 2012-2019) and at the Computation-based Science and Technology Research Center of The Cyprus Institute (Assistant Professor, 2019-2024). He joined the Unveristy of Cyprus in 2024 at the rank of Assistant Professor.
