Dr. Daniel Graves received his BS from the University of New Hampshire in 1989. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1996. Both degrees were in Mechanical Engineering. He has worked at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory since 1997. He is a senior member of the Applied Numerical Algorithms Group.

His research is in the area of numerical methods for partial differential equations, with contributions in the areas of adaptive mesh refinement, Cartesian grid embedded boundary methods, massively parallel computation and library design for scientific computing. He has contributed significantly in algorithms for incompressible flow, shock physics, viscoelastic flows and elliptic solvers for magneto-hydrodynamics.
