Postdoctoral Fellowship Program: Current Fellows

Dr. Troy Butler received his PhD in Applied Mathematics at Colorado State University in August 2009. He is researching new methods for uncertainty quantification and parameter estimation with particular application to subsurface contaminants. Troy's research combines sensitivity analysis for differential equations, statistical inference, and stochastic spectral methods in order to efficiently propagate uncertainties through response surfaces defined implicitly by a physical model. His research is performed under the supervision of ICES faculty Dr. Clint Dawson.

Dr. Mika Juntunen received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the Helsinki University of Technology in 2009. His main research interest is finite element methods; especially enforcing the boundary conditions weakly and a posteriori error estimation. His research is performed under the supervision of ICES faculty Professor Mary Wheeler.

Dr. Zhengdong Lu received his PhD in Computer Science from Oregon Health and Science University in June 2008. His research interests include the combination of the kernel methods and probabilistic model, the temporal and spatial Kalman filter for prediction, and information retrieval. His research is performed under the supervision of Dr. Inderjit Dhillon.

Dr. Alexander Rand received his PhD in Mathematical Sciences from Carnegie Mellon University in May 2009. His research involves Delaunay refinement algorithms for mesh generation and the associated numerical methods for solving partial differential equations in complex domains. His research is supervised by Dr. Chandrajit Bajaj.
