My Research Interests

In general I am interested in all uses of computers to solve complex problems requiring sophisticated numerical algorithms that will stretch the number crunching abilities of a given machine to their utmost capacity.
  • Numerical Linear Algebra
    Algorithms, Library Development, Applications
  • High Performance Computing
    Parallel Computing Programming Environments, Distributed Memory Architectures, Shared Memory Architectures, Software Tools
  • Engineering Applications
    Parallel Computing Techniques in Fluid Dynamics, Structural Analysis, ElectroMagnetism and Antennas, Optimization.

My Research

Other Affiliations
