With Daniel Martin from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Relevant conference themes: CSE applications; CSE software; High-performance computing
Abstract: Science applications are where the rubber meets the road for mathematics in CSE. Using the right math can help domain scientists and engineers solve problems that were impossible before. To the mathematicians and computer scientists at the SIAM CSE meeting, an application running into difficulty looks like an opportunity for a new mathematical solution. The theme of this GAG will be the different ways that the math presented at this meeting represents a real driver for progress in computational science and its applications.

Biography: Dan Martin is a computational scientist and group leader for the Applied Numerical Algorithms Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His research involves the development of algorithms and software for solving systems of PDEs using adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) finite volume schemes, high (4th)-order finite volume schemes for conservation laws on mapped meshes, and Chombo framework development and support. Current applications of interest are developing the BISICLES AMR ice sheet model as a part of the SCIDAC-funded ProSPect application partnership, and some development work related to the COGENT gyrokinetic modeling code, which is being developed in partnership with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as a part of the Edge Simulation Laboratory (ESL) collaboration.
Motivation: I’ve been a part of BE since its beginnings, and have let GAGs at several CSE meetings. It’s a great opportunity to meet students who are excited about math and h (I elp make a meeting like SIAM CSE less overwhelming to them. (I remember being completely overwhelmed by the first meetings I attended)”
