Research
Mathematical and computational physics, parallel
computing, field theories, surface
physics, biophysics. Some of my recent work includes:
- Efficient numerical
evaluation of Feynman path integrals
- Accurate and efficient
algorithms for approximating scattering
- Inverse electromagnetic
scattering problem in scanning holography related to
sub-wavelength resolution imaging of biological macromolecules
- Computational fluid
dynamics
- Web-based delivery of
physics lectures and laboratory experiments
Teaching
I recently (on the order of several years) enjoyed
teaching quantum and classical
mechanics, electrodynamics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics,
mathematical physics
and computational physics.
