David Ketcheson
Professor Ketcheson is an expert in numerical analysis and computational science, specializing in the study of numerical methods for differential equations and the modeling and analysis of time-dependent nonlinear wave phenomena.
Biography
David Ketcheson is a Professor of Applied Mathematics and Computational Science and the principal investigator of the Numerical Mathematics Group. He received his Ph.D. and M.S. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Washington in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Ketcheson obtained B.S. degrees in Mathematics and Physics & Astronomy from Brigham Young University, U.S., in 2004.
Research Interests
Professor Ketcheson’s research involves the analysis and development of numerical methods for integrating ordinary and partial differential equations (PDEs), as well as the implementation of such methods in open source, accessible, high-performance software and its application to understanding the behaviour of nonlinear waves in heterogeneous materials.
