Dr. Vu Thai Luan is the recipient of a three-year NSF award entitled "New Advanced Time Integration Methods for Multiphysics Systems and Applications”. The aim of his research is to develop new fast and accurate exponential and multirate time integration methods for complex coupled models and to apply them to numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate simulations as well as to other applications. On the educational side, the grant will directly involve and train Ph.D. students, as well as offer research opportunities to other students in applied mathematics at MSU.
