Izaak Beekman

Izaak Beekman is a doctoral candidate in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department of Princeton University.  

His dissertation research involves the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of supersonic and hypervelocity turbulent boundary layers.  This research entails running very large computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations on high performance computers (HPCs) using an in-house WENO code, originally developed by his PhD advisor. 

Izaak also has interests in software engineering and software architecture for scientific computing.  In computational science and engineering, all too often numerical software is written by scientists, engineers and mathematicians with little or no background in software engineering.  While functional, these software packages can be difficult to maintain or enhance and can incur unneeded expenses and frustration.  This frustration spurred Izaak’s research in scientific software engineering and architecture, as well as generic programming.
