Blanca Ayuso de Dios received her Phd
in Mathematical Sciences from Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain) in October
2003. She then took a postdoctoral position at the Istituto di Matematica
Applicata e Tecnologie Informatiche ( IMATI-CNR) at Pavia (Italy) where
she was working for more than three years. She came back to Madrid on
January 2007 as an Assistant Professor and move on January 2010, to the Centre
de Recerca Matematica at Barcelona, as a Ramon y Cajal researcher
(Government Tenure-Track Research position). On January 2014, she has joined
the
Stochastic Numerics Research Group at KAUST University as Visiting Researcher.
Her research is mainly concerned with the development and analysis of numerical
methods (mainly of finite element type) for Partial Differential Equations.
She is also very active in the analysis and development of fast solvers
for the algebraic systems arising from the numerical discretizations; in
particular domain decomposition and multilevel methods. More recently she is
interested in Uncertainty Quantification. The applications in which she works,
are mostly related to Continuum-Mechanics and Plasma Physics.
