Academic Achievements
- Published multiple papers on mesh generation, computational geometry, and optimization. Participated in various projects including LDRD (internal research program) and NNSA’s ASC program. Worked on projects such as MANET protocol design, validation process guidelines for computer models, low-bandwidth authentication, military logistics simulator CoreSim, 'forecasting' (uncertainty, statistics, and graph algorithms) over large-scale informatics graphs, and statistical techniques for root-cause analysis of faults in networked computer systems.
Research Experience
- Worked at Xerox PARC with Marshall Bern and John Gilbert during the summer of 1991. Since October 1992, he has been at Sandia National Laboratories, researching triangular and tetrahedral meshing algorithms (1992-1993), part of the Cubit project for mesh generation R&D (1993-2000), and project leadership (2000-2002). Managed the Optimization and Uncertainty Estimation department from 2002 to 2007.
Education
- Received a B.S. in Applied Math, Engineering & Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1988; M.S. (1991) and Ph.D. (1993) in Applied Math from Cornell University.
Background
- Research interests include mesh generation and improvement, surface reconstruction, sampling, uncertainty quantification, high-dimensional data analysis, and high-dimensional space exploration. Specializes in computational geometry, computer science, discrete mathematics, and information theory.
Miscellany
- Personal interests include favorite quotes and other Mitchells.
