Bio

Per-Olof Persson is a Professor of Mathematics at UC Berkeley and a faculty scientist in the LBNL Math Group. His current research interests are in high-order methods for fluid and solid mechanics, and in particular techniques based on the discontinuous Galerkin method. Persson developed the 3DG software package based on new discretization techniques and efficient solvers, which can be applied to problems in aerodynamics and solid dynamics, such as aero-acoustics, biologically inspired flapping flight, wind turbines, and micro-mechanical devices.
