Background

  • Ph.D. in Computing, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, 2017
  • M.S. in Physics, University of Antwerp, Belgium, 2002
  • B.S. in Physics, University of Antwerp, Belgium, 1999

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
