Teaching
Fall 2026: Dean's Teaching Remission
Winter 2027: TBA
I teach courses in applied and numerical mathematics at all levels, including first year Calculus! I also teach Numerical Optimization courses at the senior undergraduate and graduate levels. For current students course webpages can be found on Brightspace.
My CV (as of 3 Jun 2026) is available here
My research group works in the areas of numerical methods for PDEs and industrially inspired, large scale, optimization.
I am currently looking for graduate students with solid backgrounds in Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations and Numerical Analysis. I supervise students in both the Math and Scientific Computing programs.
I am also actively involved with industrial collaborations, see my consulting page for more information.
