Brad is from State College Pennsylvania and received his B.S. in Engineering Science and Mechanics from Penn State. He came to MIT in the fall of 2004 to join the Computational Prototyping Group. His research interests include numerical methods and model order reduction, and he is currently working on parameterized model order reduction of nonlinear dynamical systems. Brad hates large cities and seafood but loves baseball.

Bo Kim

Bo Kim received her S.B. and M.Eng. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in June 2004 and 2005, both from MIT. Her current work mainly involves robust parameterization, as it pertains to biological systems. Cereal with milk is her favorite food, and she hopes to learn to cook someday.

Yu-Chung Hsiao

yuchsiao@mit.edu

Yu-Chung received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering in 2006, from National Taiwan University, Taiwan. Then in 2008, he joined Computational Prototyping Group at MIT. His previous work focused on micro/millimeter-wave circuits and antenna design. In those projects, he was tortured by the sensitive results and failure to solve complex periodic structures by using simulation software, which tempted him into his current interests: fast field solver design and applied mathematics. Aside from work, Yu-Chung enjoys drawing and cooking. Currently he is trying to realize Taiwanese flavors out of Boston native ingredients. Rumor has it, he is secretly seeking a diploma of culinary art from MIT, if one exists.

Zohaib received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from University of Engineering & Technology, Lahore. He joined MIT in Fall 2008, where currently he is pursuing his masters degree. His research includes modeling/model reduction of dynamical nonlinear systems, numerical simulation and analog circuit design. Zohaib loves nature and tries to understand scientific mysteries under the realm of natural inspirations. In his free time, Zohaib enjoys trekking, ice skating, and cooking.

M. T. Homer Reid

Homer Reid worked as an RF integrated circuit designer, a cryogenic nanotechnology experimentalist, and a Japanese translator before joining the CP group in February 2005. A student in the Physics department, Homer studies techniques for accelerating large-scale DFT- and QMC-based  electronic structure calculations, with specific applications to nanoscale electronic devices and organic molecules. Lest he ever get too productive, Homer also enjoys tilting at such windmills as the 3D Ising model, the Riemann hypothesis, and the search for alternative regularization schemes in Quantum Electrodynamics. Away from the office, Homer is sustained by his love for classical guitar, hobby electronics, ManRay, and all things related, however tangentially, to Japan.

Lei Zhang

Lei is from Suzhou, China. He received his B.S. degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 2003, and his M. Eng. degree from National University of Singapore in 2005, both in Electrical Engineering. After that, he joined the Computational Prototyping group at MIT. His current research interests include robust optimization for photonics, linear and nonlinear model order reduction, and fast solver development.

After work, he enjoys photographing and traveling. Now, he's fulfilling his dreams through every effort.
