Research
Research interests
- My research interests are numerical analysis and scientific computing. Specifically, I am interested in high-order numerical methods for simulation of hyperbolic PDEs with shocks.
- WENO, spectral, and pseudo spectral methods, as well as strong stability preserving time discretizations.
- Reduced basis methods for solving PDEs with many parameters.
- Weighted essentially non-oscillatory methods
