I'm a computational scientist, researcher, and engineer with over 10 years of experience turning complex dynamical systems into reliable software and clear results. My work sits at the intersection of applied mathematics, numerical methods, and high-performance computing—from PDE/ODE modeling and stability/bifurcation analysis to scalable simulation and robust post-processing. I work in CFD/aeroacoustics and apply the same rigor across various physical systems.

What I do

• Model & analyze: formulate and study complex dynamics (PDE/ODE, stability, transition, bifurcations, time-series structure)
• Design studies: build defensible experiments with validation, verification, and uncertainty considerations
• Build tools: deliver open-source, reproducible, HPC-ready software (MPI/OpenMP; CPU/GPU-friendly workflows)

Focus areas

• Dynamical systems · stability/transition · bifurcations
• High-order discretizations · spectral/finite-difference methods
• Krylov & modal decompositions (SPOD, DMD)
• Reproducible HPC workflows (profiling, CI/CD, documentation)
• CFD roots; methods generalized beyond fluid mechanics
