SIAM-MGB Early Career Fellow

Assistant Professor (on leave)
Department of Mathematics
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Primary research interests are the application, theory, and discretization of partial differential equations and high performance computing; discontinuous Galerkin methods, spectral/geometric/algebraic multigrid solvers, and accelerators (GPU, KNL, etc.).

Since 2007, I have been very involved with the recruitment, retention, and outreach for women, underrepresented minorities, and socioeconomically underprivileged in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in higher education.
