Roee
Leder

Roee Leder is a PhD student in the Einstein Institute of Mathematics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. While Roee’s research is supervised by Prof. Raz Kupferman, he also works closely with the experimental physics research group led by Prof. Eran Sharon – a cooperation that facilitates synergetic interaction between mathematics and its applications.

Roee’s research focuses on the mathematical foundations of powerful models that aim to explain complex mechanical systems.

Such models serve innovative theories within material science and are thus expected to yield new applications. The geometric and analytical foundations of these theories are lacking, however, which limits their scope and insight. Therefore, in addition to the intrinsic mathematical aspects of his research, Roee hopes to help solve a number of open problems in application.

Roee lives in Givatayim with his wife, Miriam. He earned a BSc and MSc in mathematics at the Hebrew University. When not researching, Roee enjoys crossfit and weightlifting, partying with family and friends, reading books, and quoting films. Each summer, he picks a mountain range for a hiking trip abroad, from which he returns rejuvenated and full of new ideas.
