About
Professor Dan Crisan is a Professor of Mathematics at Imperial College London and Director of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in the Mathematics of Planet Earth. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Edinburgh and an MSci in Mathematics from the University of Bucharest. His research focuses on Stochastic Analysis, Stochastic PDEs, Fluid Dynamics, Nonlinear Filtering, and Data Assimilation. He leads the Stochastic Transport in Upper Ocean Dynamics (STUOD) project, supported by an ERC Synergy Grant, exploring stochastic models in geophysical fluid dynamics. His academic roles include directing the MPE CDT and teaching advanced courses like Stochastic Calculus with Applications to Non-Linear Filtering. He collaborates extensively with researchers globally on topics including stochastic fluid dynamics, particle methods, and Bayesian inference. His work bridges theoretical advancements with applications in climate modeling and environmental systems.
Education: PhD (University of Edinburgh, 1996), MSci (University of Bucharest, 1992). Professional roles include Director of MPE CDT (2013–present), Professor at Imperial College (2011–present), and prior academic appointments at the University of Cambridge and Imperial College. His research emphasizes stochastic processes in fluid dynamics, with projects funded by EPSRC and EU grants. Current PhD supervision opportunities are available in areas like stochastic fluid dynamics and data assimilation.
Key achievements include foundational contributions to particle filtering, numerical methods for stochastic PDEs, and stochastic transport models. His work on the Camassa-Holm equation and rotating shallow water models demonstrates expertise in nonlinear wave dynamics and stochastic parametrization. He actively engages in international collaborations and serves on editorial boards for leading journals in stochastic analysis.
