Computational Nanoelectronics

My research interests focus on the computation of large-scale physics and engineering problems in nanosciences within an interdisciplinary framework. For this purpose, I am developing specific applied mathematics techniques and robust parallel algorithms for enabling realistic numerical simulations on high performance computing platforms. I am the author of the multidimensional nanoelectronics simulation environment NESSIE, and the parallel linear system solver environment SPIKE.
