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.
