Teaching Areas Numerical Methods, Parallel Processing, Computer Science

My current research is in the intersection of computer science, mathematics, and engineering. I solve difficult mathematical models of realistic problems for engineers using state of the art numerical methods.

My teaching interests are in the areas of Numerical Methods, Parallel Processing, and Computer Science II.

To help me keep my sanity, I also teach a SCUBA Diving course for the P.E. department.
