Kirby

Interests

My general research interests are in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics and High Performance computing. Currently, I am developing high-order CFD solvers with applications to large-scale problems such as wind farm simulations or rotorcraft simulations. I am also widely interested in mathematics, both pure and applied.
