I will be visiting the Boston and Baltimore area in the next few weeks, and giving seminars at MIT and Johns Hopkins respectively. These will be colloquium style presentations surveying the field of computational geometric mechanics, as well as highlighting some exciting new research directions.

Ms. Jingjing Zhang, a PhD candidate at the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Science, in Beijing is joining our computational geometric mechanics group starting February 12, 2009, until December 2009.
Her stay at Purdue is funded by a fellowship from the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, where she is advised by Prof. Jialin Hong. Her research interests include structure-preserving numerical integrators for multisymplectic field theories, and for stochastic systems.
For candidates interested in joining the Computational Geometric Mechanics @ Purdue group, research positions for postdoctoral scholars and graduate students in the broad area of geometric numerical methods in geometric mechanics and control remain available. Please contact Prof. Melvin Leok for further details.
