​Marco Iglesias received his PhD in 2008 from the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, University of Texas at Austin. From 2008 and 2013 Iglesias held postdoctoral positions at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT as well as the Mathematics Institute at the University of Warwick . Since October 2013 Iglesias is an assistant professor in scientific computation at the University of Nottingham, U.K. His main research interest is the solution of PDE-constrained inverse problems. In particular, Iglesias' area of expertise lies in the computational aspects of classical and Bayesian inverse problems that arises from large-scale applications.​
