I am a computational scientist in the Scientific Computing Group at the Center for Applied Scientific Computing (CASC). Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral research staff member at CASC and a post-doctoral appointee at the Mathematics & Computer Science Division, Argonne National Laboratory.
Research Interests
Current Activities and Projects
- Development of a multifluid flow solver for interpenetrating plasmas (with applications to inertial confinement fusion)
- High-order numerical methods for tokamak edge and other magnetically confined plasma simulations.
Past Research
My past research at the Argonne National Laboratory, University of Maryland, and Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has involved the following:-
- Implementation of multi-stage implicit, explicit and implicit-explicit (IMEX) ODE solvers in PETSc (Scalable Implicit-Explicit (IMEX) Algorithms and Software for Time-Dependent Multimodel PDEs)
- Application of high-order time-integrators in PETSc to computational physics codes - eg. weather modeling through NUMA, incompressible Navier-Stokes flow solver (IBCartINS3D), etc. (Efficient High-Order Time-Integrators for Local High-Order Discretization Methods)
- Well-balanced, high-resolution finite-difference methods for atmospheric flows
- Optimized multi-stage time-integrators for nonlinear WENO and CRWENO schemes
- Scalable implementation of non-linear compact finite-difference schemes, especially the CRWENO schemes
- Derivation, analysis and basic implementation of the CRWENO schemes (Adviser: Dr. James Baeder)
- Development of a 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes solver with immersed boundaries to study high Reynold's number vortex-dominated flows (IBCartINS3D) (Adviser: Dr. James Baeder)
- High-order ENO/WENO schemes applied to 1D and 2D ideal magnetohydrodynamics and an analysis of the numerical method (Adviser: Dr. Avijit Chatterjee)
- Finite-volume time-domain algorithm to solve the Maxwell's equations of electromagnetics and predict electromagnetic scattering (radar cross-section) of low-observable ("stealthy") aircraft configurations (This presentation by Dr. Avijit Chatterjee, my former adviser, describes some of this work)
