About

Associate Professor of applied mathematics at KAUST. Some links to learn more about me:

In terms of computational science, my interests are mainly:

  • Numerical analysis of ODE and PDE discretizations
  • Numerical methods for hyperbolic PDEs
  • High performance computing and scalable algorithms
  • Scientific software development
  • Scientific computing in Python

I'm a lead developer of the PyClaw package, an extension of Clawpack, which is a finite volume solver for hyperbolic PDEs.
