Summary
Manuchehr Aminian is an applied mathematician and Associate Professor at Cal Poly Pomona with about a decade of research and teaching experience spanning PDEs, passive tracers, and applied topology. He earned his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from UNC Chapel Hill and progressed from graduate researcher to postdoc at Colorado State before joining Cal Poly Pomona as faculty. His research bridges theory and computation, with projects in machine learning, anomaly detection, and topological data analysis that emphasize practical algorithms for complex physical systems. Known for combining rigorous analysis with data-driven methods, he often applies TDA and ML tools to study transport phenomena and detect anomalies in dynamical systems. Based in Pomona, California, he brings an educator’s clarity to research translation, supervising student projects that connect advanced mathematics to real-world modeling challenges. An understated strength is his ability to move between pure mathematical techniques and applied computational implementations, making his work both theoretically grounded and practically useful.
