Research Statement:

 

I was interested in examining the many varied aspects of computational simulation, from video games and movie special effects to the design of mechanical systems and study of fluid flow phenomena. I have worked on developing a two-way coupled framework that permits the simulation of fluid-structure interactions between incompressible flows and arbitrary constituitively modeled volumetric and thin-shell solid models. I have also been involved in reformulating the Euler equations into a semi-implicit integration scheme, permitting the fast simulation of low Mach number flows -- in the zero Mach limit, our scheme can robustly take time steps at a CFL number over 300, far outstriping previous work. I also extended this semi-implicit reformulation to conservatively capture Fluid-Structure interactions in a stable, accurate manner (for high mass ratios). Additionally, I contributed to a research project sponsored by the Office of Naval Research focused on the design and implementation of a computational technology for the simulation of underwater implosion problems.
