Research Interests

My research interests predominantly focus on analytic and numerical solutions to partial differential equations through various methods. Typically analytic solution methods are based in asymptotic and perturbation expansions where local information is obtainable and useful. For numerical methods, typically I use finite differences or finite elements to discretize equations and then perform various direct decomposition and iterative methods such as multigrid to analyze them. My primary focus is on problems pertaining to industrial application. My experience with this field includes work with alternative energy, cancer, and recently oil contamination remediation.
