About
Overview
Professor Shabnam Beheshti is currently the Head of the Department of Mathematics. Her research area is the Geometric Analysis and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) in Mathematical Physics. She has worked on projects ranging from integrability of harmonic maps in General Relativity to combinatorial structure in PDEs of Fluid Dynamics. More recently, Professor Beheshti has been interested in Einstein's Equations coupled to viscous fluids and elastic matter models to better understand the geometric features of accretion in relativistic hydrodynamics.
Professor Beheshti holds a BSc from McGill University, MSc from Texas Tech University, and a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She has held positions as Visiting Fellow at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Rutgers University, and LMS Grace Chisholm Young Fellow at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). She served as Athena Swan Champion/EDI Lead and Director of Undergraduate Studies and Director of Education in the School of Mathematical Sciences at QMUL prior to joining City.
Professor Beheshti is a member of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), London Mathematical Society (LMS) and the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) and is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA). Her research has been supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI), the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS-WAM) and the London Mathematical Society (LMS).
