Biography

Geoff Vasil holds a PhD in Geophysical Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics from the University of Colorado. His research spans Pure Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, focusing on Physical Applied Mathematics, Fluid Mechanics, Plasma Physics, and Solar Magnetohydrodynamics. He is a founding core-team member of the open-source Dedalus project, which facilitates advanced computational capabilities in these fields. Vasil's current work includes studying the geometric combinatorial structures of orthogonal polynomials and special functions, which have significant applications in probability, combinatorics, and mathematical physics. On the applied side, he investigates differential equations in networks with contiguous edges, relating to wide-ranging applications in mathematical biology and condensed matter physics. Vasil also encourages prospective students and collaborators to reach out for potential research opportunities. He has an extensive employment history, previously serving as a Lecturer and Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney and engaged in several postdoctoral fellowships at prestigious institutions.
