Matina Rassias

Matina Rassias is an Associate Professor (Teaching) in the Department of Statistical Science at University College London (UCL), holding this position since 2010. She holds a PhD in Statistics and Modelling Science from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, following undergraduate studies in Mathematics at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and postgraduate studies in Financial Mathematics at Edinburgh University/Heriot-Watt University. Prior to UCL, she was a Research Scholar at UC Berkeley and a Teaching Fellow at the University of Glasgow, collaborating with the Higher Education Academy's Mathematics, Statistics and Operational Research Subject Center.

Her research focuses on Stochastic Analysis, Stochastic Functional Differential Equations, Functional Equations and Inequalities, and Statistics and Mathematics Education. Recent work emphasizes stability analysis of functional equations and pedagogical innovations in large statistical lectures. She has published across pure mathematics journals (e.g., Bulletin des Sciences Mathématiques) and educational proceedings (e.g., ICOTS conferences).

Her publications span 2005–2019, covering theoretical developments in stochastic processes and functional equations, alongside contributions to mathematics education. Notable collaborations include work with Prof. Xuerong Mao on stochastic differential delay equations and pedagogical studies with colleagues at UCL.

While no specific awards are listed, her trajectory reflects sustained contributions to both mathematical theory and educational practice. Her teaching roles highlight a dual focus on statistical science instruction and advancing educational methodologies in STEM disciplines.
