Research interests

My current research is focused on finite element methods and robust preconditioners for the magnetohydrodynamics equations. In particular, I'm working on the development and implementation of scalable, parameter-robust preconditioning techniques and multigrid methods that perform well at high Reynolds numbers. Moreover, I'm investigating structure-preserving and helicity-conservative finite element approximations for the Hall MHD euqations.
