I am an expert in computational physics, specially as applied to plasma physics, fluid dynamics, plasma and fluid turbulence and electromagnetism. I have extensive experience developing large-scale (100K+ lines of code) parallel computational software. My recent interests are in applying state-of-art finite-element and discontinuous Galerkin schemes to solution of the gyrokinetic equations. These equations evolve in 5-dimensional phase space in complex geometries, which makes developing efficient schemes very challenging. My long term goal is to develop mathematically well founded numerical methods to solve a broad variety of physics problems. I maintain a simulation journal at `Simulation Journal `_. In this one can find my notes and results from testing algorithms and models on different problems.
