Research Interests


My research interest is in computational and applied mathematics that includes modeling, analysis and developing numerical methods for problems arising from science and engineering. More specifically, I have worked on:
  • numerical analysis and scientific computing;
  • multi-scale, multi-physics and multi-phase problems in wave propagation, fluids, and materials;
  • inverse problems related to medical and seismic imaging;
  • computer vision and image processing.
