Marc is a staff scientist at the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering at LBNL and has been in the group since he received received his Doctorate from UCLA in 1995. His formal training is in nuclear fusion plasma physics, fluid dynamics and applied mathematics.
Marc has published a variety of papers in multiphysics reacting flow problems, including integration algorithm design, application and data analysis. He specializes in block-structured adaptive methods on massively parallel computing hardware. Most recently, he has focused on laboratory-scale simulations of low-speed chemical combustion, but he actively works also on stellar nuclear deflagrations and explosions/ shock physics in confined chambers.
