Introduction
- I am an instructor of Applied Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
- I received my Ph.D. in February 2005, on Mesh Generation for Implicit Geometries under the supervision of Gilbert Strang and Alan Edelman.
- My current research interests are in high-order methods for fluid and solid mechanics, in particular techniques based on the Discontinuous Galerkin method.
- In our 3DG Group, I work with Jaime Peraire and other members of MIT's Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory on new discretization techniques and efficient solvers, which we apply to problems in aerodynamics, large deformation solid dynamics, aeroacoustics, and biologically inspired flapping flight.
- I am affiliated with the MIT Computation for Design and Optimization (CDO) program.
- In the Fall 2007 I am teaching 6.337/18.335 Introduction to Numerical Methods, one of MIT's introductory graduate course in computation.
