Estefania Loayza-Romero, a Lecturer in Mathematics at the University of Strathclyde, visited the School on Wednesday 7th May. Her research focuses on computational PDE-constrained optimisation, with particular interest in non-smooth optimisation algorithms and their applications, data assimilation, shape optimisation, and optimisation on manifolds. She gave a talk in the afternoon on “A Riemannian View on PDE-constrained Shape Optimisation“. The photo below shows Estefania during her talk. Photo credit: Werner Bauer.
