Ivan Tyukin

Professor Tyukin joined the Department of Mathematics at King’s College London in February 2022 as a Professor of Mathematical Data Science and Modelling. After completing PhD in 2001 he worked as a Research Scientist at RIKEN Brain Science Institute, Japan. In 2006 he was awarded a DSc (Habilitation) degree, and in 2007 he became an RCUK Academic Fellow at the University of Leicester. Since then he was promoted to the roles of Lecturer in Applied Mathematics, Reader, and Professor in Applied Mathematics in 2012, 2014, and 2018, respectively. He is an Editor of Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulations.

In 2019 - 2021 he served as an Adjunct Professorship at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). In 2021 he has been awarded a UKRI Turing AI Acceleration Fellowship to work on the mathematics underpinning the development of robust, stable, and resilient AI.
