About Me
As of October 2011, I am a Senior Member of Technical Staff in the Numerical Analysis and Applications group (Org. 1442) at Sandia Albuquerque. I received my Ph.D. in Computational and Mathematical Engineering (CME) from Stanford University in 2011. My advisor at Stanford was Professor Charbel Farhat and I was a member of the Farhat Research Group (FRG). My Bachelors and Masters degrees are in pure mathematics, awarded by the University of Pennsylvania in 2006. While a Ph.D. student at Stanford, I had the opportunity to work part time and during the summers as a Graduate Technical Intern in Sandia Albuquerque's Aerosciences Department (Org. 1515).
Research Interests
Numerical solution to PDEs.
Mixed/hybrid finite element methods.
Stability and convergence properties of numerical methods.
Reduced Order Modeling (ROM) and simulation-based analysis of fluid-structure interaction.
Current Research Projects
A Reduced Order Model (ROM) of compressible flow in captive-carry environments (with Srini Aranujatesan, Org. 1515).
Development of the Albany code (with Andy Salinger, Org. 1442).
Development of efficient preconditioners for climate and quantum device modeling applications.
Numerical analysis and development of GLIMMER/CISM ice sheet model and code.
Development of the discontinuous enrichment method (DEM) for high-Peclet fluid problems (with Dr. Radek Tezaur and Professor Charbel Farhat, Stanford University).
