Sebastian Dominguez

PhD student in the Department of Mathematics
at Simon Fraser University.

I am Sebastian, PhD student in Applied and Computational Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University. I work under the supervision of Professor Nilima Nigam (from the Department of Mathematics) and James Wakeling (from the Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology). I am interested in Applied Mathematics, Numerical Analysis, Functional Analysis, Eigenvalue problems and the Finite Element Methods.

I live in Metro Vancouver, Canada, with my wife and little daughter since September, 2015. We lived in Concepcion, Chile, until August 2015.

Education

I got my Bachelor in Mathematical Engineering in 2012 at Universidad de Concepcion, Chile. Then, I completed my Masters in Mathematical Engineering in 2015 at Universidad de Concepcion. I started my PhD in September, 2015 at Simon Fraser University, Canada. I expect to be graduated in 2019.

Stays

I visited the Department of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University in February 2014. I worked in IRMACS under the supervision of professor Nilima Nigam and professor Steven Ruuth until April 2014. About a year after, I visited the Neuromuscular Mechanics Laboratory at Simon Fraser University from May to July 2015 where I worked under the supervision of professor Nilima Nigam and profesor James Wakeling. They are currently my senior supervisor and co-supervisor, respectively.
