Develops the mathematical and computational tools and algorithms necessary for
the fundamental understanding of physical systems and processes as well as
advancing computational science. Selects projects for their impact on
high-tech programs in NIST and industry, such as crystal growth, alloy
solidification, complex multi-phase fluid flow, fracture and deformation,
magnetic materials, and image analysis. Performs research and maintains
expertise in applied mathematics, mathematical and numerical analysis,
algorithm design, and large-scale scientific computation on problems of
interest to NIST, ITL, and industry. In collaboration with NIST and outside
scientists, develops mathematical models and applies analytical and numerical
methods to effect their solution. Consults in the use of advanced mathematical
methods for modeling and solving such problems.
