Dr. Yingda Cheng received her Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics
from Brown University in 2007. Her research at ICES involves high-order
numerical methods for partial differential equations, in particular the
semiconductor Boltzmann equations. Her research is performed under the
supervision of Professor Irene M. Gamba.
Dr. Brent Kraczek received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2007. His
research involves developing coupled models of atomistic and continuum systems. At ICES he is working on developing
a means to couple explicit and implicit solvation models for biomolecules, including a means to quantify errors. This
research is supervised by Professors Peter Rossky and Greg Rodin.
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. Tim Wildey received his Ph.D. in mathematics from Colorado State University in 2007. His research at ICES is under
the supervision of Professor Mary Wheeler and involves non-intrusive stochastic methods and a-posteriori error
estimation for flow in porous media.
