Research Profile

I am a mathematical modeller and numerical analyst specialising in geometry-aware discretisation and isogeometric analysis (IGA). My research develops mathematically robust CAD-to-CAE frameworks that ensure consistency between geometric representation, parameterisation, discretisation, and numerical analysis for complex physical and engineering systems. Key themes include PDE-based parameterisation, injectivity/regularity guarantees, multi-sided and multi-patch spline parameterisations, and fast solvers (e.g., preconditioned Anderson acceleration).

Research Highlights

• Analysis-suitable parameterisation for IGA: optimisation-based and PDE-based volumetric constructions with quality control for complex domains.
• Geometry-to-simulation pipelines: boundary parameter matching (incl. Schwarz–Christoffel tools) and multi-sided domain parameterisations enabling reliable IGA workflows.
• Solver acceleration: preconditioned Anderson acceleration to improve efficiency and robustness of parameterisation PDE solvers.
• Industrial-grade spline meshing: spline-based structured mesh generation for screw machine simulations (SplineMesh / Scorg™).
