Research Statement:

In general, I am interested in developing efficient numerical methods for solving PDEs and related optimization problems. The employed techniques include finite element discretizations, domain decomposition methods, fast direct solvers, and multigrid methods. These can be used to construct efficient preconditioners for iterative solution in parallel computers. My application areas are computational acoustics, elasticity, electromagnetics, and fluid dynamics. I also develop numerical methods for option pricing.
