Research
My main interest is in mantle dynamics. I am working with Prof. Michael Gurnis and collaborators at the University of Texas in Austin on numerical mantle convection models using Rhea. Rhea is a new generation parallel finite element mantle convection code designed to scale to hundreds of thousands of compute cores. It uses forest-of-octree based adaptive meshes via the p4est library. With Rhea's adaptive capabilities we can create local resolution down to approximately 1 km around plate boundaries, while keeping the mesh at a much coarser resolution away from small features. In both global and regional models with nonlinear rheology, I am studying the dynamics and evolution of slabs in the mantle as well as the evolution of predicted plate velocities.
