Alain Goriely is a mathematician. Currently, he holds the statutory professorship (chair) of mathematical modelling[2] at the University of Oxford, Mathematical Institute, he is the director of the Oxford Centre for Industrial Mathematics (OCIAM)[3], and the International Brain and Mechanics Lab (IBMTL)[4] and Professorial Fellow at St Catherine's College, Oxford. At the Mathematical Institute he is also director of external relations and public engagement initiating the Oxford Mathematics series of public lectures.


Biography

Born and raised in Brussels, he obtained his B. Sc. in 1989 and Ph.D. in 1994 from the Université Libre de Bruxelles where he became lecturer in the Mathematics Department. Shortly after, he moved to the University of Arizona to take the positions of Research Associate (1994-1997), Assistant Professor (1998-2002), Associate Professor (2002-2007) and Professor (2007-2010). In Tucson, he also served as acting head for the Program in Applied Mathematics in 2006-2006 and 2007-2008. In 2010, he moved to Oxford to take up the inaugural chair of Mathematical Modelling and become Director of the Oxford Centre for Collaborative Applied Mathematics (OCCAM). He is a Senior Fellow of the Oxford Martin School and received M.A. in 2010 from the University of Oxford (by resolution).

Research

Alain Goriely works in the field of applied mathematics and he is interested in a broad range of problems including dynamical systems; the mechanics of biological growth; the modelling of the brain, the theoretical foundations of mechanics; the dynamics of curves, knots, and rods; the modelling of cancer; the development of new photovoltaic devices; the modelling of lithium-ion batteries and, more generally the study and development of mathematical methods for applied sciences.
