Research Areas

My research is in the area of applied mathematics with main focus on modeling and development of efficient numerical algorithms. I’m especially interested in problems arising on the interface between mathematical and physical or biological sciences/engineering. At present I’m studying theoretical and simulation aspects of grain growth in complex materials. Other projects I am involved with include the design of fast new algorithms for quantization and clustering with the use of the concepts like centroidal Voronoi tessellations, and optimization methods for the determination of phase diagrams for multicomponent materials and developing methods for ill-conditioned linear systems. I am also collaborating with biologists and chemists on a number of projects. Before coming to GMU, I obtained my PhD at Penn State and spent two years as a CNA postdoc at Carnegie Mellon University where I took part in the interdepartmental MRSEC initiative (MIMP).
