After 16 months since the start of my program, I can confidently say that my experience as a PhD student in Applied Mathematics at the School of Mathematics of the University of Edinburgh has been deeply rewarding, thanks to the institution’s high academic standards and its dynamic research environment. From the very beginning, I have progressively developed my research project, focused on the study of the interaction between electromagnetic waves and matter, actively contributing to scientific output and publishing results in collaboration with experts in the field. I have also taken courses directly related to my work, both at the School of Mathematics and the School of Physics, which has strengthened my interdisciplinary background.
The School of Mathematics offers extensive opportunities to carry out research stays at other universities and to attend international conferences, which has significantly broadened my academic horizons and allowed me to build valuable networks with researchers from around the world. During this time, I completed a one-month research stay in Pennsylvania, USA, and in October I will participate in two international conferences.
Furthermore, the School has given me the opportunity to work as a tutor for various undergraduate mathematics courses, an experience that has complemented my academic training, enhanced my teaching skills, and sparked my interest in pursuing an academic career even before completing my studies.
