Professor of Computer Science

Affiliated Faculty of Mechanical Engineering

Areas of expertise:

Mathematical modeling, asymptotic and numerical analysis of differential equations, hydrodynamic stability, perturbation theory, biomedical mathematics.

Applications:

Shallow-water waves, human brain modeling, ocean and sea ice study.

Teaching:

I generally teach both undergraduate and graduate courses, including courses for calculus sequences, numerical analysis, and ordinary and partial differential equations. Currently, in the Spring of 2013, I am teaching Math 20 B and Math 20 G.
