Academic Achievements
- His methods and software have been used for aerodynamic shape optimization, topological optimization of nonlinear structures, structural dynamics of highly heterogeneous materials, and to discover energetically optimal flapping wing motions.
Research Experience
- Was the Luis W. Alvarez Postdoctoral Fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory from 2016-2018; currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame.
Education
- Received M.S. and Ph.D. in Computational and Mathematical Engineering from Stanford University in 2016 under the supervision of Charbel Farhat; B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 2011.
Background
- Research interests include the development of fast and accurate model reduction methods, accurate, efficient, and automated numerical methods for high-speed flows, high-order methods for computational physics, high-order and reduced-order methods for topological optimization and its role in additive manufacturing, PDE-constrained optimization, and multiscale methods. Application areas include combustion and energetic materials, aerodynamics (including hypersonic systems), biological flows, and flapping flight.
