About Me

I am an R&D Staff Member in the High Performance Computing Methods for Nuclear Applications group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA. I develop and implement computational methods for physics simulations on leadership-class supercomputers. Research areas include radiation transport, computational geometry, and fluid dynamics. I hold Bachelor's degrees in chemical engineering and chemistry from the University of Minnesota, and a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from the University of Wisconsin.
