Amir Sagiv
I am a Term Assistant Professor at the Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics in Columbia University, working under the mentorship of Michael Weinstein.
In 2019, I completed my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics in Tel Aviv University's School of Mathematical Sciences, under the supervision of Gadi Fibich and Adi Ditkowski. I obtained my M.Sc. in Mathematics at Tel Aviv University, and my B.Sc. in Mathematics and Physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
I am interested in two main areas - (1) Waves and modelling of optical phenomena, and (2) Uncertainty quantification and statistical problems in physical systems.
See my CV here.
