I am a Staff Scientist and Group Lead of the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering (CCSE) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. I am interested in HPC implementations of multiphysics and multiscale algorithms for PDEs using structured grid, adaptive mesh, particle/grid, and machine learning algorithms.
