Loredana Angela Mihai is an applied mathematician and numerical analyst. Originally from Romania,[1] she is Professor of Applied Mathematics at Cardiff University, and Director of Research and Innovation for the Cardiff University School of Mathematics.[2] She specialises in mathematical modeling of the mechanical properties of soft materials, such as biological tissue.[3]
Mihai is from Romania, where she was an undergraduate student.[1] She completed a DPhil in numerical analysis at Durham University in 2005.[2] Her dissertation, A class of alternate strip-based domain decomposition methods for elliptic partial differential equations, was supervised by Alan W. Craig.[1][4]
After postdoctoral research at the University of Strathclyde, University of Cambridge, and University of Oxford, she joined the Cardiff University academic staff as a lecturer in 2011.[2]
In 2023, Mihai was elected vice-president of the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland Section of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.[5]
