Summary and Objective

I am a highly motivated engineer with a broad multi-disciplinary background in computer-aided design and advanced finite element analyses with excellent programming skills applied for structural mechanics (statics and dynamics), (electro and ferro) magnetics and thermodynamics. My experience of managing large cross-disciplinary research projects gives me the understanding necessary to collaborate with other researchers.

The exponential growth of computer resources over the last decade has led to the development of computational science and engineering as a unique and powerful tool for scientific discovery and interdisciplinary education. My primary objective is to take full advantage of this trend.

In order to realize this goal, I see a huge potential in the integration of computational sciences and information technologies (CSIT) and modeling for simulating and visualizing the behavior of complex engineering structures. On the other hand, in order to establish the engineering process using advanced simulations on teraflop computers, it appears that significant advances are required in the fundamental sciences that form the foundation of all computational analyses.

While working as an Assistant Scholar/Scientist at the Magnet Science and Technology Department of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, (operated by Florida State University, University of Florida, and Los Alamos National Laboratory) and its high performance computing platforms, my current position is providing a very stimulating environment for realizing cross-fertilization of ideas with an multi-disciplinary curricula.
