Some recent courses:
- In Fall 2021, I am teaching
CSE-397/GEO-391/ME-397/ORI-397: Computational and Variational
Methods for Inverse Problems. As long as Austin hospitalization
rates remain high, I
will be teaching in person but also streaming the lectures live
from my iPad via Zoom for those who cannot come to class, and also
recording them for later viewing. The first lecture will be at 5pm
on Wednesday August 25 in GDC 4.302. The Zoom link will be
available in Canvas. If you are registered for the course, you'll
be able to see the link (note that I've combined the 4 sections
into one in Canvas for convenience). If you are just sitting in on
the course (whether as a student or postdoc), please send me your
EID and I'll give you access in Canvas. The content of
the course is unchanged from Fall 2019; here is a flyer for that course:

In Fall 2020, I taught GEO 384F: Finite Element Method in
Geophysics. A flyer describing the course can be
found
here.
- In Fall 2019, I taught CSE
397/GEO 391/ME 397/ORI 397: Computational and Variational Methods for
Inverse Problems. A flyer describing the course can be
found
here.

In Fall 2018, I taught GEO 384F: Finite Element Method in
Geophysics. A flyer describing the course can be
found
here.

Fall 2015:
CSE 397/GEO 391/ME 397/ORI 397: Computational and
Variational Methods for Inverse Problems
- Fall 2014:
GEO 384F: Computational Methods for Geophysics
Spring 2013:
GEO 384F: Computational Methods for Geophysics
Note: A new webpage is under construction
(sigh). Everything below is deprecated and links to old project/research
material have been removed. If you're
interested in any of my papers, my
full CV contains
hyperlinks to most of my published and submitted papers. For published
papers, the hyperlink in my CV points to the journal version. For
submitted papers, the hyperlink points to the arXiv preprint. Or just
go
to
my Google Scholar page. If you have problems obtaining a paper,
let me know.

When I have time I will scan my 1000s of slides... (right,
sure).. for now just a few shots...
