Trivia
I have an Erdös number
of 4 at least four different ways
(Me->M.W.Trosset->R.Tapia->M.Golumb->P. Erdös,
Me->P.Bochev->M.Gunzburger->V.Faber->P. Erdös,
Me->R.Tuminaro->H.Thornquist->V.Faber->P. Erdös,
Me->E.de Sturler->J.Liesen->V.Faber->P. Erdös)
Background
I'm a researcher in scientific computing (does that make me a scientific computer?), currently residing at Sandia National Laboratories. My research interests focus primarily on:
- Linear solvers, especially algebraic multigrid,
- Numerical methods and advanced (read: multicore) architectures,
- Scalable algorithms,
- Preconditioners for saddle-point problems,
- Derivative-free optimization.
As I said above, I'm a UIUC/CS alum, having worked
under Eric de Sturler. At my undergraduate institution, the College of William and Mary, I worked with
Virginia Torczon and Michael Trosset. Having finished a LTE (read: postdoc)
with Ray Tuminaro, in the Scalable Algorithms group at Sandia National Labs, I've moved on to the
Computational Shock and Multiphysics group as a Senior Member of the Technical Staff. I still work with Ray Tuminaro, as well as Jonathan Hu, Allen Robinson, Chris Garasi and a whole host of other
interesting
folk.
