Projects

• Block Methods for Functional Trace Estimation

  ---

  For a class project, we investigated the block Lanczos iteration as a preconditioner for functional trace estimation

• Neural Network Domain Decomposition for Core Neuronics

  ---

  For a class project, I investigated the use of neural networks to serve as surrogates for determinstic response expansions in the incident flux response method

• Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics for Molten Salt Structure Calculations

  ---

  I used CP2K (an Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics code) to calculate the the partial radial distribution function of molten UCl3 at a single temperature
