معرفی
Tianshi Lu is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Wichita State University. He obtained his PhD from Stony Brook University in 2005. His primary research focuses on high performance computing, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), and fluid dynamics with applications in plasma physics, quantum computing, and numerical analysis.
Education:
- PhD in Numerical Analysis, Stony Brook University, 2005
Research Interests: Tianshi Lu's work spans diverse disciplines, including the development of efficient numerical schemes for hyperbolic systems and electromagnetic waves, front tracking methods, and quantum computing. He specializes in multiphase CFD, phase transitions, and interfacial instability. His studies in plasma/tokamak physics address pellet ablation and ExB rotation in fusion reactors, while his fluid dynamics research explores cavitation mitigation and dynamic phase boundaries. The mathematical aspects of his work include spectral theory of self-adjoint operators on surfaces of revolution and zeta function analysis.
Scientific Awards:
- Kansas NSF EPSCoR First Award (2010-2011)
Advising and Grants: Tianshi Lu has advised PhD student Patrick Rinker (thesis: Pellet Ablation in Tokamak Reactors, 2015) and is currently mentoring Sirvan Rahmati. His grants include the NSF EPSCoR award supporting his research in plasma physics and computational methods.
