My research interests evolve around discretization and solution techniques for coupled multi-physics problems. I’m particularly interested in multi-level block preconditioners for monolithic solution schemes.

Research Interests

  • Coupled multi-physics problems, monolithic & partitioned coupling schemes
  • Fluid-structure interaction, magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD), electromagnetics
  • Contact & interface mechanics
  • Multi-scale phenomena
  • Cardiovascular mechanics, biomedical engineering
  • Parallel linear solvers & preconditioning, multi-level methods, nonlinear solvers
  • Time integration, error estimation, implicit/explicit (IMEX) schemes
  • Numerical methods for PDEs, Finite Element Methods, Mortar methods
  • High Performance Computing, Algorithms for Novel Hardware Architectures
  • Data-driven modelling

Scientific Software Development

I’m an active contributor to several multiphysics codes and HPC math algorithm libraries:

  • Baci: in-house multiphysics code (in collaboration with LnM@TUM, IMCS@UniBwM, and HZG)
  • Drekar: in-house multi-fluid plasma code (Sandia National Laboratories)
  • Trilinos: open-source project for algorithms for large-scale multiphsyics applications
  • MueLu: next-generation multigrid framework within Trilinos
  • Spack: flexible package manager for HPC
  • TriBITS: software development, testing, and deployment system based on CMake
