About me
I joined the
Department of Mathematics and Statistics
at the
University of Maryland, Baltimore County
as an assistant professor in Fall 2006 after completing a two-year postdoctoral appointment in the
Optimization and Uncertainty Estimation Department
at the
Sandia National Laboratories
in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I received my Ph.D. in applied mathematics from the
University of Chicago
in 2004, my dissertation being directed by
Todd Dupont
and
Ridgway Scott
. My research area is numerical analysis of partial differential equations, with current focus on multilevel algorithms for inverse problems, and numerical methods for molecular dynamics computations.
