--Data visualization of the temperature field on a 2D squared field solved using our solver.

2

- Led a team of 4 to build a fast Helmholtz equation solver for heat transfer problem on a 2D squared field.

- Accelerated the solver up to 200 times faster using MPI parallel method and CUDA & OpenACC based GPU algorithm.
