John Stockie

John Stockie is a professor of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University. His research research focuses on solving problems in fluid dynamics that are characterized by multiphysics and multiple scales (in space and time). Mathematically, these problems are described by coupled nonlinear systems of partial differential equations to which I apply a combination of analytical methods including asymptotic analysis, periodic homogenization, Fourier analysis and linear stability theory. Computationally, my goal is to design accurate and efficient solution algorithms by solving the underlying PDEs using finite volume methods combined with stiff time-stepping schemes.
