If you are interested in potentially joining my group, please contact me via email. All research will involve substantial computer programming (with current projects using mainly Python and C++), so prior programming experience would be very valuable. Some projects may also benefit from prior exposure to continuum mechanics (of both fluids and solids), applied mathematics (e.g., numerical linear algebra, partial differential equations, functional analysis, etc.), and/or computer science (e.g., parallel computing, computational geometry, graph theory, etc.).
