I am organizing an Undergraduate Summer School about modeling and simulation with PDEs (TAMU, May 2024).

I am organizing the Finite Element Rodeo 2023 hosted at TAMU .

Research Interests

• Multiscale effects in Maxwell's Equations:
  surface plasmon-polaritons on 2D materials,
  plasmonic crystals
• Multiscale methods:
  heterogeneous multiscale methods and variational multiscale methods,
  asymptotic analysis and homogenization theory,
  model adaptation in context of multiscale methods
• Computational fluid dynamics:
  hyperbolic conservation laws
  compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations
  coupled Euler-Poisson and Euler-Maxwell systems
• Finite element methods and finite element software (deal.II)
