Current Research Projects

At this time I am working on design and analysis of highly efficient second and fourth order numerical schemes in time variable for Advection-Diffusion-Reaction Systems, with connection to meshless methods in space.   I am working on ETD Schemes, with co-authors Abdul Khaliq, Emmanuel Asante-Asamani and O. Samuel Iyiola. Together with Ph.D. student K. Lokken we are working on cellular automata and applications in the Firing Squad problem.
