Research

My research is in the area of enabling technologies for high-performance simulations in computational science and engineering, with emphasis on automation of the development, deployment, and performance tuning of parallel applications. Specific research areas include (1) source code analysis and transformation, specifically on automatic differentiation and performance analysis; (2) software engineering approaches for high-performance computing, focusing on numerical components and supporting infrastructure; and (3) software quality of service for scientific components, with an emphasis on adaptive linear solver strategies for the numerical solution of nonlinear partial differential equations.
