Thesis proposals

At the Bachelor's degree level, there are topics introducing optimal transport, conservation laws, and the transport equation. Contact me to discuss it.

For those with interests in computer science, I can propose programming a video game related to the brachistochrone problem. Alternative: history of mathematics related to the brachistochrone.
