My research is focused on developing high-order numerical methods for solving various mathematical models from plasma physics and astrophysics. The equations that must be solved in these applications are characterized by a set of nonlinear evolution equations plus a set of constraint equations. Special numerical methods must be designed that accurately capture the nonlinear evolution, while simultaneously maintaining some discrete form the constraints. Specifically, my work has focused on developing discontinuous Galerkin and residual distribution methods.
I welcome graduate students with a strong background or interest in applied and/or computational mathematics. I typically accept graduate students through the UW Graduate Program in Mathematics.
