I do research in applied and numerical mathematics, including large-scale fluid simulations and related scientific and engineering computations. Specifically, my interests include ice flow in glaciers, partial differential equations, variational inequalities, and the numerical analysis of these problems. The open-source software I use (and contribute to) include the PETSc scientific computing library, the Firedrake finite element library, and the PISM ice sheet and glacier model. I especially like to teach analysis, differential equations, linear algebra, and numerical subjects. I try to help students from all over campus do mathematics on computers!
