Research Interests

My research is in the area of numerical analysis, and partial differential equations, In particular, I am interested in the Generalized Finite Element Method (GFEM), which is a Galerkin’s method using partition of unity to approximate the solution of a PDE. Currently I have been working on solving elliptic boundary value problems (EBVP) using GFEM, in particular, EBVP with discontinuous coefficients and EBVP in non-smooth domains with curved boundaries.
