Hi! My name is Arjun. I am an applied mathematician and a PhD candidate at the University of Notre Dame, where I conduct original research on high-order finite-element methods for Wasserstein gradient flows, mean field control problems and optimal transport. I am advised by Dr. Guosheng Fu and co-advised by Dr. Zhiliang Xu. Before starting my PhD, I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a double major in Pure Mathematics and Computational Physics.
Apart from my research adventures at ND, I am concurrently employed as a year-round intern at the Computer Science Research Institute (CSRI), Sandia National Laboratories, where I have been working on structure preserving Reduced Order Models with Operator Inference for parametric PDEs. At Sandia, I am mentored by Dr. Anthony Gruber and Dr. Irina Tezaur.
