Biography

Chris Vogl joined the Center for Applied Scientific Computing (CASC) in May 2017 as a postdoctoral researcher working with Carol S. Woodward, becoming a staff scientist in March 2019. Prior to CASC, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow with Randall J. LeVeque in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Washington. He received his Ph.D. in Engineering Science and Applied Mathematics from Northwestern University (2013), advised by Michael J. Miksis and Stephen H. Davis. He received his M.A. in Mathematics from the University of California Los Angeles (2008) and his B.A. degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics from Illinois Wesleyan University (2006).

Research Interests

Chris's main research interests are in the mathematical modelling of physical phenomena and the numerical techniques necessary to solve the resulting partial differential equations. In particular, he is interested in the following:

  • methods for hyperbolic conservation laws
  • numerical integration techniques
  • computational fluid dynamics
  • level set methods
  • solving PDEs on a manifold
  • adaptive mesh refinement

As for application areas, Chris has worked in earth system modeling, anthropogenic radiation belts, power grid cyber resilience, tokamak plasma simulation, tsunami generation and propagation, non-destructive testing, and vesicle deformation.
