Robert Anderson leads the Computational Physics Group in the Center for Applied Scientific Computing in the Computing organization at LLNL, and serves in a liaison role coordinating research activities with programmatic activities. Robert's background is in algorithm development and scientific software development for computational physics with an emphasis on fluid mechanics. His research interests include the synthesis of ALE and AMR algorithms for hydrodynamic codes, high-order finite elements, reduced order models, and reinforcement learning for adaptivity.

Robert earned his PhD in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University in 2000. He joined LLNL in 2000, led various technical and software projects until becoming Scientific Computing Group leader in 2018, and Computational Physics Group leader in 2020.
