PROJECTS
Legacy
GEFIE-QUAD
This first-principles simulation method models the interaction of laser light with diffraction gratings, giving scientists a powerful tool to predict the performance of a laser compressor.
PDES
PDES focuses on models that can accurately and effectively simulate California’s large-scale electric grid.
Legacy
Phase-Field Modeling
Based on a discretization and time-stepping algorithm, these equations include a local order parameter, a quaternion representation of local orientation, and species composition.
