Current members
Postdocs
- Allen Alvarez-Loya, T-5, Los Alamos National Laboratory, 2022–present
- Allen has been supported by NSF MPS-Ascend postdoc fellowship (DMS-2213261).
- Bio: Allen received his PhD in applied mathematics at the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2022 where he developed high-order methods for wave phenomena. His current goals are to develop structure-preserving algorithms for plasma physics simulations and promote diversity in the mathematical and physical sciences.
- Oleksii Beznosov, T-5, Los Alamos National Laboratory (I am a co-mentor), 2022–present
- Oleksii has been supported by FES, ARDAP, and LANL LDRD.
- Bio: Oleksii received his PhD in mathematics at the University of New Mexico in 2020. Before joining LANL he did his postdoc at UNM and Cornell studying mathematical and computational aspects of spin dynamics in high energy electron storage rings. His research interests are stochastic particle dynamics in plasma physics and high energy physics, scalable high order numerical methods for wave propagation problems posed on domains with complex geometries, machine learning and high-performance computing.
