Prof Cristiana Sebu has been with the University since September 2015 as Associate Professor in Biomathematics. She received a BSc (Hons) First Class and an MSc (Distinction) in Theoretical Physics from the University of Bucharest, Romania, in 2000 and 2002, respectively. In 2004, she obtained a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Montpellier II, France, with a thesis entitled Problèmes Inverses dans la Physique Classique et Quantique under the supervision of Professors Sorin Ciulli and André Neveu. After finishing her doctoral studies, Prof Sebu was employed by Oxford Brookes University, United Kingdom, as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Mathematical Sciences. She continued her academic career at Oxford Brookes University where she became Lecturer in 2005, Senior Lecturer in 2006 and Reader in Mathematics in 2013.

For almost 20 years Prof Sebu has produced internationally recognised research in two main fields: Biomedical Instrumentation and Imaging Techniques, and Mathematical Modelling.

In her main focus area, Biomedical Instrumentation and Imaging Techniques, Prof Sebu's published research, especially in Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), has been widely cited and has led to numerous invitations to conferences. She has made key contributions to the theoretical developments of EIT for medical applications, including the design of a ground-breaking portable EIT device for breast cancer screening, and the development of an image reconstruction algorithm for use in such screening. This work was carried out at Oxford Brookes University in collaboration with the EIT group at Institut für Physik, Johannes Gutenberg Universität, Mainz, Germany.

Research in her second area of expertise, Mathematical Modelling, has led to pioneering work in other disciplines (Physics, Biology, Engineering and Chemistry).

Much of Prof Sebu's research is inter-disciplinary and is the result of international collaborations (Montpellier, Mainz, Bremen, Florianopolis, Prague) which have been financially supported by major funding bodies (EGIDE, Leverhulme Trust, German Ministry of Education).
