Courses

Introduction to the diverse ethical concerns, challenges and responsibilities that arise when engaging in scientific research. Students will have opportunities to reflect upon and discuss their own ethical constructs in the face of practical ethical dilemmas.

A seminar series on interdisciplinary research topics by prominent speakers in EAS fields and student presentations on research in progress. May be repeated for credit.

Development, analysis, and implementation of numerical methods to approximate solutions of partial differential equations. An advanced study of numerical methods for approximating the solution of partial differential equations. Topics may include: numerical methods for hyperbolic PDEs; finite element methods; discontinuous Galerkin methods; spectral methods; pseudo spectral (collocation) methods; radial basis function methods; numerical methods for time-stepping of PDEs

Research interests

  • My research interests are numerical analysis and scientific computing. Specifically, I am interested in high-order numerical methods for simulation of hyperbolic PDEs with shocks.
  • WENO, spectral, and pseudo spectral methods, as well as strong stability preserving time discretizations.
  • Reduced basis methods for solving PDEs with many parameters.
  • Weighted essentially non-oscillatory methods

Sigal Gottlieb joined UMass Dartmouth in 1999 and is currently a Chancellor Professor in the Mathematics department. Her area of research is in computational and applied mathematics, and her work has been continually funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). She is a Fellow of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics and of the Association for Women in Mathematics.

Dr. Gottlieb was one of the founders and founding director of the Center for Scientific Computing and Data Science Research, the hub for computational science research at UMass Dartmouth and aims to support faculty doing computational research at UMass Dartmouth and promote internationally recognized computational research that advances the fields of modern applied science, data-driven and data science algorithms. She has led several successful equipment proposals for large-scale computing clusters that support the research of CSCDR affiliates.

In related activities, she was instrumental in the development of new academic programs, including the EAS doctoral program and the Data Science BS and MS programs. Finally, Dr. Gottlieb has served in the Research, Scholarship, and Innovation committee since its inception, and as chair for the past two academic years.
