Contents

Her contributions enhance our understanding of soft, smart, and biological materials through pioneering approaches like stochastic modelling of elasticity [2] that bring mathematical rigour to real-world materials with complex behaviours.

Education and career

Mihai earned her PhD in numerical analysis at Durham University in 2005. [3] 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. [1]

Leadership and service

From 2023 to 2025, she served as Vice President of the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland Section of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. [4]

Recognition

Mihai is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales. [5]
