Dan Yergeau received
his B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Rose
Hulman Institute of Technology in 1989 and M.S. in Electrical
Engineering from Stanford University in 1990. He is currently
working toward his Ph.D. He is a member in IEEE, ACM, Tau Beta Pi,
and Eta Kappa Nu.
Dan Yergeau's main research interest is the numerical solution of
the partial differential equations arising from models for thermal
diffusion of impurities in semiconductors. The equations for these
models consist of diffusive, advective, and reactive terms. He has
developed a program (Alamode), which allows
description and solution of arbitrary systems of elliptic and
completely parabolic PDEs containing any of the above terms.
His current research involves improving the robustness of the
solution algorithms in Alamode. This
includes:
- spatial stabilization ("upwinding") for advective terms
- automatic time step control
- error-driven mesh adaptation
- better nonlinear solution algorithms
