Research topics
  • Uncertainty Quantification for plasma-coupled combustion
  • Spectral methods for Uncertainty Quantification and Propagation:
    e.g. ANOVA, adaptive sparse polynomial dimensional decomposition
  • Global sensitivity analysis, high order moments, stochastic problems
  • Numerical methods for multiphase compressible flow
  • Deflagration, detonation, and deflagration-to-detonation transition
  • Accurate approaches for diffuse interface
  • Multi-dimensional anti-diffusive method on unstructured meshes
