Research Statement:

I was interested in scientific computing and numerical methods for partial differential equations related to fluid mechanics and acoustics. I worked on DEM (Discontinuous Enrichment Method) with applications to wave propagation in heterogeneous media. In particular, my research focused on resolving evanescent waves. Previously, I had worked on the numerical solution of non-Newtonian fluid problems in geosciences.
