Short bio
Svajūnas Sajavičius graduated from Vilnius University (Lithuania) with BSc (2007) and MSc (2009) degrees in Mathematics, and a PhD degree (2013) in Computer Science. Before joining Kaunas University of Technology, he worked at universities in Lithuania as an assistant/associate professor, and at the Institute of Applied Geometry of Johannes Kepler University Linz (Austria) as a postdoctoral researcher in an EU-funded project. His research interests include discretization methods for partial differential equations (PDEs) and computer aided geometric design (with a special focus on applications in isogeometric analysis). Dr Sajavičius is an author of over 10 papers in refereed journals and conference proceedings, and a participant in various international conferences and congresses.
