Biographical information Resume (pdf) Sponsored Research Projects Refereed Publications

Research Interests Numerical algorithms Parallel computing Computational science Data mining and analysis Sponsored Research Projects ITR: Coastal Modeling and Management: We are developing a comprehensive, coupled, hybrid hydrodynamic computational model for simulation and prediction of complex water wave processes from the deep ocean to the shoreline. Preconditioning Techniques for Linear Systems of Equations: We are developing novel preconditioning techniques for sparse and dense linear systems that rely on a sequence of linear transformations to obtain a preconditioned system from the original one. The resulting preconditioners will be robust, effective, and inexpensive.
