Kyle Mandli, Ph.D.

Kyle Mandli joined the Center for Computational Mathematics (CCM) as a Research Scientist in October 2023. Previously, Kyle was a faculty member in the department of applied physics and applied mathematics at Columbia University. Before that, he was a postdoc at the University of Texas at Austin in what is now the Oden Institute. He received his Ph.D. in applied mathematics in 2011 from the University of Washington, studying multi-layered shallow flows. Kyle’s research interests involve the computational and analytical aspects of geophysical shallow mass flows such as storm-surge, tsunamis, and other coastal flooding. This also includes the development of advanced computational approaches, such as adaptive mesh refinement, leveraging novel computational technologies, such as accelerators, and the application of good software development practices as applied more generally to scientific and engineering software.
