Summary of Research

My research interests are in high fidelity numerical methods for scientific computing and using GPU accelerated systems to better understand the physics of astrophysical plasmas. I currently study how stars form by using large scale numerical simulations to model the behavior of hot, magnetized gases in space and examine feedback mechanisms influencing stellar evolution. I am also interested in algorithm development for modern heterogeneous architectures.
