About
I am a researcher developing finite element methods, their implementation and their application. I primarily work with the FEniCS project, both in its development and application.
Research interests
Scientific computing, finite element methods, automatic code generation, mathematical modelling, uncertainty quantification, parallel computing for large scale problems, mathematics for asset valuation.
