Tasks: -- Development of efficient algorithms and new linear inverse methods for solar seismology. -- Verification and implementation of the developed methods for inversions of seismic data for solar imaging.

Ph.D. in Physics I did my research in the Computational Helioseismology Lab of the Solar and Stellar Interiors Department. Tasks: -- Focused on data inversion, mathematical modeling, and numerical simulations for solar imaging using regression methods, FEM, and Monte Carlo simulations. -- Processed, analyzed and interpreted the massive seismic data of SDO/HMI and SOHO/MDI (NASA/ESA missions) space data sets. -- Numerical simulations and high-performance computing in helioseismology.

Responsible for coordination of lectures and seminars (multiple sessions each year), yearly gathering meetings and Organization of yearly festival of "Flame Photograph"

Master student researcher in the Multiphase Flows Lab of the Department of Aerospace Engineering. Tasks: Numerical modeling of multiphase flows using meshless methods such as SPH - Developed the open-source code SPHysics for modeling the multiphase flows using SPH method - Simulated the breakup of a continuous liquid jet using SPH method - Simulated laminar and turbulent flows for turbomachinery systems using CFD commercial softwares
