Research Advisor: Dr. Petr Kloucek
Research Experience:
- 1999-Present
- Developed computational method for modelling evolution of metastable
systems. The method is based on adaptive Nonconforming Domain Decomposition
technique. Method is designed to capture solutions with variety of
competing scales.
- Summers 1997, 1998
- Worked under supervision of Professor Petr Kloucek at Rice University and Professor Aladin Boriek at Baylor College of Medicine in problem that modeled muscle fibers of the diaphragm.
Publications:
- The Computational Modeling of Internal Surfaces in Crystals.Petr Kloucek and Luis A. Melara.Submitted to Journal of Computational Physics, 2001.
