Research Interests
I am mostly doing numerical and theoretical work on complex flows in quantum liquids. In particular, I am interested in turbulent superfluid dynamics: coupling with excitations, long-range, long-wavelength dynamics, efficient coarse-gained numerical algorithms for fully coupled two-fluid dynamics.
My work is advised by Professor Nigel Goldenfeld. More information about the research interests of the group members can be found through the group's website.
Software used
Here is some of the software packages I am using and that I find particularly useful:- VisIt, MayaVi: These two are 3D visualization packages, both based on the powerful VTK toolkit, and both under constant development and improvement. I am considering moving to a somewhat lower level interface to VTK, such as TVTK, to have more control on the output.
- SciPy, Matplotlib and friends: These are Python-based packages for numerical and graphing work, respectively. SciPy is a toolbox of useful numerical packages, and it also implements a rather nice array class. Matplotlib, also Python-based, is for making plots (publication-quality), and it borrows a lot of the syntax from MATLAB.
- Blitz++: A C++ library for high-performance numerical computation.
