Comments

My research is dedicated to developing numerical methods and software for simulating material dynamics, including gases, fluids, and solids. It explores both Lagrangian and Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) methods while also addressing the essential data structures required for efficient utilization of high-performance supercomputers and heterogeneous computing architectures (CPUs + GPUs).
