OP: Variational Principles, Minimization Diagrams, ... .
Short Bio:
I received my Ph.D. in mathematics in 2003 from the
University of Georgia and spent two years as a postdoctoral associate at the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications, University of
Minnesota. I then worked at Northern Illinois University for seven years before coming to UIC in 2012.
In 2009, I was awarded a Sloan Fellowship. My research is partially funded by the National Science
Foundation.
Primary research interests: Numerical Analysis of Partial Differential Equations
In a series of papers, I recently explained why standard discretizations work for the Monge-Ampere equation. Earlier in my carrier, I contributed, with D. Arnold and R. Winther, to the resolution of an open problem on finite element methods for symmetric tensors. I also obtained (with D. Arnold) other significant and dramatic results on the serendipity finite elements and new finite element differential forms.
