Ousmane Kodio

Biography

Ousmane Kodio received his Bachelor of Engineering from ESPCI Paris. He later received his Master of Theoretical Physics of Complex Systems from Pierre and Marrie Curie University and PhD in Mathematics from the University of Oxford. Currently, he serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Previously, he was an instructor of Applied Mathematics at MIT.

Research

Professor Kodio's research is at the interface of applied mathematics, theoretical physics, and biology. It is devoted to gaining insights into physical, biological, or societal problems through the lens of mathematical modeling. He uses mathematical modeling and computational tools to analyze the formation of patterns in complex systems, such as the growth and form of living matter, and the emergence of collective behavior in active systems.
