About
Hi! I am Dr. Abhinav Jha, currently an Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar. My research interests lie in the areas of Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing.
During my PhD, I specialized in Stabilization Techniques for Convection-Dominated Problems, and I was also a member of the Berlin Mathematical School (BMS).
In my Postdoctoral research, I shifted focus to Computational Chemistry, working specifically on Domain Decomposition Methods for Poisson-Boltzmann Equations. For a brief overview of my work, you can check out the following presentations: AFC Schemes, ddLPB Method, and ddPB Method.
