Biography

Dr. Ignacio Tomas obtained his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Maryland in 2015. Following his doctoral work on Numerical Analysis of PDE models describing ferrofluids, he took a Visiting Assistant Professor position at Texas A&M University (TAMU). Before joining TTU he held a postdoctoral position at Sandia National Laboratories (Albuquerque, New Mexico). During his time at TAMU he developed non-variational schemes for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with mathematically guaranteed properties. More recently he has worked in the analysis and development of numerical schemes for PDE models of electric charge transport, such as Euler-Poisson and Euler-Maxwell system of dense plasmas. Overall, his research focuses on the analysis, development, and implementation of physically motivated PDE-models and their respective numerical schemes.
