MURI Research:
-
Time-domain computational electromagnetics
-
High-order methods
-
Discontinuous Galerkin methods
Prof. Hesthaven’s main research area is the development and analysis of
computaional methods for the solution of time dependent partial differential
equations. A main focus of his research has been the development of high order
accurate and efficient methods for problems in domains of realistic geometric
complexity. He has contributed to the development of high-order finite
difference methods, spectral methods, and high-order multi element methods,
e.g., multi-domain and discontinuous Galerkin methods. A significant part of
Prof. Hesthaven’s research has focused on the development of high-order
accurate techniques for the efficient solution of Maxwell’s equations in the
time-domain with special focus on large scale/high frequency scattering and
penetration applications, and problems in microoptics. He has lectured at
universities and research centers throughout the US and Europe, has written
more than 60 journal and conference papers and authored or co-authored
scientific software used by several research groups. Professor Hesthaven has
been the involved (as lead PI or Co-PI) in research activities based on grants
and contracts exceeding $3 mil. He is an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow (1995), an
Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow (2000), a Manning Assistant Professor (2001),
the recipient of an NSF Career Award (2002) in the Mathematical Sciences, and a
Phillip J. Bray Award for Excellence in Teaching in the Sciences (2004).
