I have been with the UMassD Math Dept since Fall 2008. I graduated from the University of Delaware with a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics under the supervision of Toby Driscoll. My research interests, in general, are in scientific computing, high-order approximation, numerical collocation methods for PDEs, mathematical modeling, and applied computing problems in engineering and industry.
I was also a visiting researcher at the Dept of IT Uppsala University, Sweden, from 2010 - 2012 to work with Elisabeth Larsson and Axel Målqvist for the hybrid FEM-RBF method under Marie Curie FP7 grant.
