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.

Seneca Rocks

Seneca Rocks, West Virginia

I climbed a new mountain with my wife today; Seneca Rocks in WV. She wanted a casual day, so we stuck to the “Old Ladies Route”, which is a 5.2 wrapping around the southern cliff of the mountain. While my day was great, I did encounter a group of climbers that really concerned me. That...
