Biographical Information

I received a B.S. in Mathematics and Physics in 1987 from The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. In 1991 I received a Ph.D. in Physics from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in New Brunswick, New Jersey. From 1991 to 1993 I was a post-doctoral fellow at the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and from 1993 to 1995 at the Institute for Scientific Computing Research at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California. From 1995 to 1998 I was a research assistant professor at the Center for Computational Science at Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts. I am currently a staff member in the Scientific Computing Group, CIC-19 at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
