Professor Omar Ghattas
Professor and John A. and
Katherine G. Jackson Chair in Computational Geosciences
Director, Center
for Computational Geosciences
Ph.D., Duke University, 1988
Field of
Study:
Computational geosciences,
inverse problems, parallel supercomputing
Short Biography:
Dr. Ghattas'
interests are in forward and inverse modeling,
and optimal design and control, of complex
systems in the geological, mechanical, and
biomedical engineering sciences, with particular
emphasis on large-scale simulations on parallel
supercomputers. Geoscience inverse problems of
current interest include those in regional and
global seismic wave propagation, mantle
convection, atmospheric and subsurface
contaminant transport, ocean dynamics, and flow
in porous media.
In
addition to the Department of Geological Sciences, Dr.
Ghattas holds appointments in the
Institute for Geophysics, the Institute for Computational
Engineering and Sciences, and the Departments of Mechanical
Engineering, Computer Sciences, and Biomedical Engineering.
Prior to September 2005, he was a professor at Carnegie
Mellon University. He received his BS, MS, and PhD from Duke
University in 1984, 1986, and 1988, respectively. He has
been a visiting professor at NASA-Langley Research Center,
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Sandia National
Laboratories. He was awarded the 2003 Gordon Bell Prize for
Special Accomplishment in Supercomputing.
