People
The summer school is organized by the following people.
Organizers
Matthias Maier
Texas A&M University
My principal field of research lies in the finite element simulation of physical problems with two-scale and multiscale phenomena. These are modeling problems where relevant physical processes act on highly different length and time scales.
Timo Sprekeler
Texas A&M University
My research focuses on the numerical analysis and analysis of PDEs, with particular interest in finite element methods, homogenization, and computational multiscale methods.
Lecturers
Jean-Luc Guermond
Texas A&M University
I am interested in numerical analysis, Computational fluid dynamics, Robust simulation of hyperbolic conservation equations, multi-scale approximation, homogenization and radiative transport.
Ignacio Tomas
Texas Tech University
Broad interests in the Analysis and development of space and time discretizations that preserve essential structural properties of the PDE. In particular, energy estimates, entropy inequalities, invariant sets, maximum/minimum principles, positivity properties, and asymptotic limits of the original PDE. I am also very interested in PDE physical modeling, with a particular focus on models of electric charge transport.
Assistants
Crystal Farris
Texas A&M University
I am a second year math PhD student studying under Dr. Matthias Maier. My research interests are in numerical methods for partial differential equations.
Jordan Hoffart
Texas A&M University
I'm a 5th year math PhD student studying under Dr. Matthias Maier. My research focuses on developing and analyzing numerical methods to solve PDE systems that come from fluid dynamics and electromagnetic phenomena.
David (Chris) Pecoraro
Texas A&M University
I am a 4th year PhD student studying under Dr. Matthias Maier and Dr. Jean Luc Guermond. My research interests include finite element methods and computational fluid dynamics. In particular, I am interested in creating and analyzing robust and efficient numerical methods for fluid dynamics problems where flows with a wide range of Mach numbers appear.
Wyatt Smith
Texas A&M University
I am a second year PhD student studying under Dr. Jean-Luc Guermond. I am interested in the analysis and implementation of numerical methods for partial differential equations, with a particular focus on Maxwell's equations and radiative transport.
