About me
Initially an engineer in high performance computing (computer science, mathematics, numerical methods for ordinary differential equations, stochastic differential equations, and partial differential equations), I specialized in computational mechanics and materials science during my PhD, my post-doc and my current associate professorship appointments.
Anything related to numerical methods and their application to mechanics and nonlinear material behavior interests me.
