I am a professor in the Department of Mathematics in the College of Science at Virginia Tech.

I am also a member of the Interdisciplinary Center for Applied Mathematics.

Virginia Tech is located in Blacksburg, VA.



Teaching

I am currently teaching:

Service

I am the graduate coordinator for the Department of Mathematics. You can find out about our graduate program here. More detailed information will be available later.

Research

My research is in the development and analysis of computational tools for optimal design and control of nonlinear PDEs (usually Navier-Stokes equations). This covers a wide range of areas. A partial list is given below.

* Sensitivity Analysis:
Adaptive Finite Element Calculations,
Automatic Differentiation,
Nearby Solutions,
Uncertainty Analysis

* Optimal Design Algorithms:
Convergence Theory Based on Asymptotic Consistency,
Forebody Simulator Design Problem

* Computational Methods for Control of PDEs:

* A more complete description of my research can be found here.
