Professor Lehel Banjai is a faculty member at the School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, Heriot-Watt University, where he has held the position of Professor in Mathematics since 2022. Previously, he served as Associate Professor (2015–2022) and Assistant Professor (2012–2015) at the same institution. Education: Habilitation (University of Dusseldorf, 2013), D.Phil. (Oxford, 2003), BA(Hons) in Mathematics and Computation (Oxford, 2000) His research spans numerical analysis and computational mathematics, focusing on boundary and finite element methods, space-time formulations, and convolution quadrature for time-domain problems. Key areas of interest include wave scattering (acoustic and electromagnetic), Schrödinger equations, fractional differential operators, and high-order numerical schemes. Recent publications highlight his work on Runge-Kutta convolution quadrature, fractional diffusion, nonlinear impedance boundary conditions, and efficient solvers for wave equations. He has collaborated with researchers at institutions such as Max Planck Institute, University of Zurich, and University of Dusseldorf. Students supervised include Brian Hennessy (joint with Emmanuil Georgoulis), Ebraheem Aldahham, Katherine Baker, Jeta Molla (joint with Gabriel Lord), and Oluwaseun Lijoka, among others.
