PhD Student, Georgia Institute of Technology

My background is as a numerical physicist. I enjoy working with most fields of physics and specialize in computational optimizations for writing physics-based solvers and simulations. I have worked on code applied to relativistic astrophysics, medicine, signal processing, electromagnetics, computational fluid dynamics, magneto-hydrodynamics, and others. I am current pursuing a PhD in Computational Science & Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology on my work optimizing compressible CFD simulations of particle-laden flows. My goal is improving the efficiency of computational methods by focusing on algorithms and techniques that produce optimal results given finite resources. You can view my most-recent publications for a review of topics I am currently or have recently been working on.

Solar Slab, Red Rock Canyon

As I climb more and more, I find that I don’t enjoy anything more than easy multipitch climbing. I like knowing that everything is in my ability and the exposure is high. This route is very special to me because I spent the entire year helping my wife to train to do it with me....
