Graduate Student, Teaching Assistant

Welcome to my homepage!

simple red Thanks for visiting my webpage! I am a fourth year graduate student here at Temple. My current research interests are in scientific computing and numerical analysis, in particular numerical linear algebra. This website is currently under construction, and I hope to have a lot more up. So please be sure to check back, it is a work in progress. Unfortunately, there is not a whole lot up now... so until I find time to get more interesting stuff, here is a link to my recent work, and a cool gif.

Latest work

With David Fritzsche, Andreas Frommer, and my advisor Daniel B. Szyld: Overlapping blocks by growing a partition with applications to preconditioning, Research Report 10-07-26, Department of Mathematics, Temple University, July 2010. Revised October 2011.

A cool gif

The following models heat flow through a two dimensional room, with a heater in one corner controlled by a thermostat on the far wall and a window through which heat escapes in another corner. The temperature \(u(x,y,t)\) is governed by the heat equation \(u_t=\nabla^2u\). For more specifics, see problem 11.
