I'm Reader in Computational Optimisation and Control and Course Director for the Applied Mathematics MSc. For a better, up-to-date, overview of my activities, please visit my personal website www.dkalise.net

Prior joining Imperial in 2021, my criminal record includes: Assistant Professor in Applied Mathematics, University of Nottingham (2019-2021), Imperial College Research Fellow (Maths, 2017-2019), Research Scientist (Optimization and Control Group, 2013-2017), RICAM Linz, Austrian Academy of Sciences, and Postdoctoral Researcher (Maths, EU ITN-SADCO, 2011-2013), Sapienza University of Rome.

I'm originally from Chile and grew up in front of the Pacific, in Viña del Mar. I received a B.Sc. in Mathematical Engineering and a M.Sc. in Electronic Engineering from the Federico Santa María Technical University in Valparaíso. In 2008 I moved to Norway, where I got a Ph.D. in Mathematics in 2012 from the University of Bergen (with some periods away from the rain in Oslo and Trento).

My research is an N-headed monster (not necessarily a good thing) revolving around computational mathematics, optimization and control, nonlinear PDEs, high-dimensional approximation and agent-based models across scales. More details in the research tab but again, it's better to have a look at my website, arXiv, or GoogleScholar :)
