Orest Mykhaskiv
Early Stage Researcher 2 at Queen Mary University of London
I am an Early Stage Researcher at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) passionate about the application of new technologies and scientific methodologies in engineering fields. I hold a BSc degree in "Applied Mathematics and Informatics" and a MSc degree in “Mathematical Modelling in Engineering (MathMods)” and have two years experience as a Software Engineer. My research is focused on CAD-based shape optimisation, AI and its applications in Aerospace and Automotive industries.
I was born in Lviv (Ukraine), spending most of my time concentrating on Mathematics and Physics, playing football, piano and skiing. I obtained the BSc degree at the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv in Applied Mathematics, where I developed the interest in numerical methods, simulations and computational methods. I also worked for a year as the software developer, expanding my expertise in web-development and building large commercial codes.
After I was awarded a scholarship to attend Erasmus Mundus Master program "MathMods" I continued my academic studies. They took place in three different countries. After two semesters in Italy and France, I spent my final year in Hamburg, Germany. Master thesis on hydrodynamic shape optimisation was a nice introduction into adjoint optimisation techniques and directed me to find the position within IODA project. Before joining QMUL, I was working in Hamburg, developing websites and algorithms for a collection of social media's data. In addition to the obtained Master degree, after a couple of years abroad I can say a few words in Italian and French, as well as maintain a conversation in German.
My current position enables me to work with a mixture of disciplines from software development to pure Mathematics, also collaborating on them with people with different backgrounds. I find extremely useful the exchange of knowledge between academic and industrial organisations which are involved in the IODA.
