Pierson T. Guthrey

I am currently a postdoc with the Center for Computational Math Science and Engineering at Michigan State University working with Andrew Christlieb.

I received my Ph.D. from Iowa State University under the advisement of James Rossmanith.

Upcoming Conferences

Join me at:

• Z Fundamental Science workshop, August 11-14 in Albuquerque, New Mexico
• International Conference on Numerical Simulation of Plasmas: September 3-5, 2019 in Santa Fe, New Mexico
• SIAM Central States Section Annual: October 19-20, 2019 in Ames, IA
• APS DPP: October 21-25, 2019 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
• SIAM Annual 2020: July 6-11 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Research Projects

• RIDG: The Regionally Implicit Discontinious Galerkin method, a high-order explicit method able to take very large (CFL of order 1) time-steps while maintaining nearest neighbor stenciling
• shock hydro: There are numerous approaches to limiting spurious oscillations, but extending these to space-time formulations is an open challenge I seek to solve
• kinetics: Relativistic plasma models offer rich new computational challenges that require innovative techniques

Computational Projects

• DoGPack: I am a current developer for James Rossmanith’s discontinuous Galerkin software package.
• MOLTN: I am the lead developer for a fully Kokkos computational codebase built around the Method of Lines Transpose.

Personal Projects

• The Applied Math Spellbook: Typed notes from my time in graduate school
• Board Games: Board Game design
• Dog Training: AKC tricks dog training
