UT Austin’s student chapter of SIAM was founded in 2008 to foster interactions between members of the applied mathematics community at UT Austin, across departments, institutes, and professional marks. We aim to provide a forum for discussing applied and computational mathematics and to help members prepare for future STEM careers in academia and industry. We also promote publications, conferences, prizes, and other opportunities offered by SIAM.
About Us
Chapter Officers
Ph.D. Student at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences.
I am interested in data-driven methods, high order numerical schemes, extreme event modeling, and hydrodynamics.
PhD Student at Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences.
I work broadly on uncertainty quantification methods to enable scalable predictive digital twins as a framework for robust decision making with applications to various engineering and health systems.
Ph.D. Student at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences.
I work in the CRIOS group with Dr. Patrick Heimbach. My interests include HPC, optimized linear solvers, automatic differentiation, and their use in ocean and sea ice modeling.
PhD Student at Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences
I use optimization and machine learning techniques for process control and energy system. The current focus of my research is production scheduling optimization for fluctuating electricity prices and energy supplies.
BS in Mathematics, BBA Business Honors
I'm a Junior at UT interested in a career in data science or quantitative finance.
Ph.D. Student at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences.
His research interests include both data-driven and physics-based approaches to storm surge modeling.
Ph.D. Student at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences.
I am broadly interested in glaciology, data assimilation under uncertainty, machine learning, optimization, and mathematical modeling.
Faculty advisors
I work on development of a Eulerian-Lagrangian and WENO schemes for advective flow; the study of mixed methods and cell-centered finite differences for nonlinear and geometrically irregular elliptic problems; the modeling and simulation of multi-phase flow through porous media, including fractured and vuggy media, with applications to petroleum production and groundwater resources; numerical homogenization, subgrid upscaling, and domain decomposition of heterogeneous media; and simulation of the dynamics of the Earth's mantle.
I use numerical methods for partial differential equations, specifically flow and transport problems in computational fluid dynamics; scientific computing and parallel computing; finite element analysis, discontinuous Galerkin methods; shallow water systems, hurricane storm surge modeling, rainfall-induced flooding; ground water systems, flow in porous media, geochemistry; data assimilation, parameter estimation, uncertainty and error estimation.
