Loredana Angela Mihai is an applied mathematician and numerical analyst. Originally from Romania,[1] she is Professor of Applied Mathematics at Cardiff University, and Director of Research and Innovation for the Cardiff University School of Mathematics.[2] She specialises in mathematical modeling of the mechanical properties of soft materials, such as biological tissue.[3]

Education and career

[edit]

Mihai is from Romania, and graduated with a B.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Bucharest in 1992.[4][1] She then worked both as a teaching assistant at the University of Bucharest Faculty of Mathematics and a teacher at a local high school until 1999. In 2000 she completed Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at Cambridge University.[4]

Mihai earned her DPhil in numerical analysis at Durham University in 2005.[5][2] Her dissertation, A class of alternate strip-based domain decomposition methods for elliptic partial differential equations, was supervised by Alan W. Craig.[1][6]

After postdoctoral research at the University of Strathclyde, University of Cambridge, and University of Oxford, she joined the Cardiff University academic staff as a lecturer in 2011.[2]

Professional service

[edit]

In 2023, Mihai was elected vice-president of the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland Section of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.[7]
