While at LANL, he has mainly been working on extending the methods developed during his thesis to magnetohydrodynamic models, with applications to the magnetosphere and magnetic confinement fusion.
Expertise
- Structure preserving finite element methods with focus on (magneto-)hydrodynamic flows in Eulerian framework for structure such as geostrophic balance, consistent energy transfers, helicity conservation including efficient solvers and transport-stabilized discretizations
- Advanced numerical methods for plasma phenomena such as anisotropic diffusion
