Shirin Provat, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Academic General Faculty, Teaching Track, Applied Mathematics
About
Shirin Provat joined the University of Virginia as an Assistant Professor in Applied Mathematics in Fall 2024. She completed her PhD in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Florida State University in the summer of 2024, becoming the first in her family to achieve this milestone. Her doctoral research focused on optimizing boundary conditions to enhance electroconvection under AC voltage, along with developing efficient numerical methods to solve chaotic electrokinetic flows. Shirin's research interests include numerical simulations, machine learning approaches for solving nonlinear PDEs, data assimilation, and adjoint methods.
