Research


I am formerly a graduate student in the Math department at UMass Amherst, working in the Nanoelectronics Theory and Simulation Laboratory under Eric Polizzi.

My main research interests are Numerical Algorithms. Some particular problems I have worked on are Numerical Eigensolvers for Linear and Non-Linear Eigenproblems, Pseudospectra, and Numerical Solutions to the Schrödinger Equation for Electronic Structure Calculation.
