Current Responsibilities

I am the lead software developer of the FEBio and FEBio Studio projects (www.febio.org). FEBio is a finite element solver for large deformation, non-linear mechanics, designed specifically for applications in biomechanics and biophysics. I am currently working on efficient iterative solver strategies and the development of a framework for adaptive mesh refinement in FEBio. I am also developing the FEBio Studio software, where my focus is on expanding FEBio Studio’s support of FEBio’s capabilities.

Research Interests

• Finite element methods
• Numerical methods in general
• Computer graphics and visualization
• Biomechanics, biophysics
