Marshall promoted!
Congratulations to Marshall on his promotion to principal research engineer! Marshall is a key to the research we do in the group and has a seemingly unlimited bandwidth, energy, and enthusiasm (especially when it comes to helping students). This is a well-deserved promotion that recognizes his contributions as well as his future. Here’s the description…

Lucien Rochery presents paper at SciTech on generalized continuous metrics for mesh curving
Lucien, a post doc in the group, presented “A Generalized Continuous Mesh Framework for Explicit Mesh Curving” at the 2024 AIAA SciTech conference. Lucien completed his PhD in March 2023 on metric-based anisotropic mesh adaptation methods for high-order Bézier meshes at INRIA Saclay working with Adrien Loiseille. We were fortunate to have him join the…

Cory Frontin publishes paper in Physics of Fluids!
Cory Frontin published the first journal paper from his doctoral work in Physics of Fluids titled “Output error behavior for discretizations of ergodic, chaotic systems of ordinary differential equations”. Cory shows how statistical error due to sampling of long-time averages significant decreases the impact of higher-order discretizations. Being proponents and developers of higher-order methods, this was…

Thank you CU Boulder Smead Aerospace!
After ~2 years of COVID this, COVID that, and a year of being on sabbatical, I’m going to try to keep my web page more up to date! First, I want to thank the Ann and H.J. Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences Department for hosting my sabbatical this past academic year (2021-2022) at the University of Colorado Boulder. I…
