    Workshops
      Fields-MITACS Industrial Problem-Solving Workshop (FMIPW) August 5-19, 2008, Toronto
    Research:
    My main interests are in the areas of PDE and numerical analysis, with applications in computational electromagnetics and micromagnetics. Specifically, I work on the development and analysis of numerical methods for exterior scattering problems, including FEM and integral equation methods. I am also interested inthe use of geometric integration techniques in material science, where systems evolve on manifolds determined by physical constraints. Apart from this, I enjoy using mathematics to solve real-world problems wherever they arise. Current/recent projects.
