Jacob Badger

I am currently a PhD student and CSEM fellow at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. I received B.S. degrees in mathematics and mechanical engineering from Brigham Young University, during which I produced novel contributions in computational surface mechanics, advanced radiation modeling, and acoustic scattering.

My current work with Prof. Leszek Demkowicz focuses on the development of parallel high-order finite element methods for large scale simulations. My research interests include Advanced Finite Element Techniques, Parallel and High-Performance Computation, Computational Fluid Dynamics, and Wave Propagation.
