Research Interests: 

I am interested in finite element methods for the numerical solution of partial differential equations, in particular for highly nonlinear problems such as Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. My interests include:

  • hp-version continuous and discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods.

  • numerical solution of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations: monotone methods for viscosity solutions, hp-version DGFEM for problems with Cordès coefficients.
  • non-divergence form elliptic equations with discontinuous coefficients.
