RESEARCH
My research is focused on building mathematical models of physical phenomena
and developing efficient numerical methods for problems in science and engineering.
In particular, I have been developing numerical techniques, which allow fast integration
of large nonlinear systems of differential equations with widely varying temporal scales.
I have worked on modeling large scale behavior of astrophysical and laboratory plasmas
including evolution of coronal loops in the solar atmosphere and plasma configurations
arising in fusion related experiments. My research interests also include computational
biology, in particular, modeling experimental manipulations of biomolecular structure
of living cells.
