Research papers:
Our research focuses on three dimensions: modeling (the translation of physical problems into mathematics), algorithms (covering both theoretical and experimental research), and implementation. For a list of recent papers that are primarily theoretical, click here. Some papers are listed under multiple headings. Where available, we have provided downloadable versions of papers.
