Melih Ucer
- Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Applied Mathematics and Computational Sciences
Biography
Melih Ucer is a postdoctoral researcher in the Mean-Field Games (MFG) group of Prof. Diogo Gomes at KAUST. He obtained his bachelor's degree from MIT in physics and PhD degree from Bilkent University in mathematics, where he did research on topology of algebraic varieties. Since he joined KAUST, he has been primarily working on the weak solution concepts to MFG equations. In addition, being a former IMO medalist, he is still active in training olympiad students.
Research Interests
Melih Ucer is primarily interested in existence and regularity of weak solutions to mean-field equations (MFE), which are PDE systems consisting of a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and a Fokker-Planck equation.
