Position: Professor and Head of Department
Academic qualifications: BSc Applied Mathematics/Computer Science (Univ of Malawi); MSc Computing Science (Imperial College, Univ of London); MSc Industrial Mathematics (Univ of Kaiserslautern, Germany), PhD (Darmstadt Univ of Technology, Germany) NRF rating: C1 PERSONAL PAGE |
Fields of interest: Partial differential equations, Scientific Computing; Optimal control and optimization; Networked flows; Multiphysics problems - radiative hydrodynamics, Fluid-structure interaction; Geophysical flows based on shallow water models;High-order accurate schemes
Research interests: The analytical transition of kinetic models (Boltzmann-Type models) to continuum flow models in the small Mach or Knudsen number limit; Tthe numerical transition is achieved by applying tools from asymptotic analysis such as multiscale methods as well as ideas from relaxation systems of conservation laws.
