Dear members of the Faculty of Mathematics & Sciences

It is with great pride and excitement that I step into the role of Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. This Faculty has been my home since 1992, beginning with my undergraduate studies in Physics and Mathematics, and later, since 2009, as a faculty member of the Institute of Applied Physics.

Our vision is for the Faculty to maintain its excellence and leadership across the board: in research, teaching, innovation, diversity, and the overall student experience. We aspire to foster an environment of scientific progress and cross-disciplinary cooperation. By doing so, we aim to build a dynamic community that unites academic, technical, and administrative staff with students of all degrees. We place a strong emphasis on "community"—an ecosystem where everyone is involved, contributes, and initiates.

My door is always open. I invite all members of our community to meet, share ideas, and offer suggestions. Understanding what requires improvement is essential, but recognizing and preserving what works well is equally important. Together, working in a positive spirit, we will advance the Faculty’s achievements in research and education.

Studying at the Faculty grants more than subject-matter expertise; it provides a methodology for life. We instill logical, scientific, and quantitative thinking grounded in facts, data, and rigorous analysis—a crucial skill in an era of information overload. The tools you acquire here will facilitate independent learning and foster a critical, objective perspective in science and beyond.

I look forward to seeing you here.
