Education
Ph.D. & M.S. Mathematical Sciences, 1995-2003, GPA 4.0 major, 3.95 overall
Ph.D.
Specialization: Computation & Computational Analysis
Dissertation: “A Parallel Implementation of the
Glowinski–Pironneau Algorithm for the Modified Stokes Problem.” Provided a rigorous analysis for the modified
version of the Stokes problem, and then designed and developed a parallel FEM
implementation that used a 256 node Beowulf Cluster to generate and solve an
approximating linear system with 1.2 million unknowns.
M.S. Emphasis: Discrete Optimization, Operations
Research, Networks & Flows
M.S. Project: Designed and developed NetWorKs: “An Object Oriented GUI Based Program for Illustrating
Graph and Network Algorithms.”
B.S. Computer Science, B.S. Mathematics, 1990-95, GPA 4.0 majors, 3.98 overall
Research
Interests: Computation, Computational Analysis, Finite
Element Method, Parallel Computation, Graph Theory, High Dimensional
Visualization, Artificial Neural Networks, Discrete Optimization: Network
Flows, Graph Algorithms, and Operations Research.
