Research Summary
Karniadakis' research interests include diverse topics in computational science both on algorithms and applications. A main current thrust is stochastic simulations and multiscale modeling of physical and biological systems (especially the brain). Read here about the exciting field of "New Biology" described by the National Research Council (2009).
Particular aspects include:
(*) Numerical solution of stochastic differential equations: SISC article, PNAS article
(*) Modeling uncertainty with polynomial chaos: PNAS article, CiSE
(*) Biophysics - Multiscale modeling of biological systems: PNAS article, PRL article, PRS article
(*) Atomistic/Mesoscopic modeling - Dissipative Particle Dynamics: PRL article
(*) Low Dimensional Modeling - Gappy Data - Data assimilation: JCP article
Ongoing Interests
(*) Spectral/hp Element and Discontinuous Galerkin methods : OUP Book
(*) Turbulent Drag Reduction: Science article
(*) DNS/LES of turbulence in complex geometries: JFM article
(*) Flow-structure interactions: PRL article
(*) Micro-transport and Dynamic self-assembly: Springer Book
(*) Flow and heat control applications: JFM article
(*) Parallel computing; Interactive/virtual reality computer graphics: CUP Book
