Faculty Profile

Dr. M. Y. Hussaini is Professor of Mathematics, holder of the TMC Eminent Scholar Chair in High Performance Computing, Affiliate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Computer Science. He helped set up the School of Computational Science and Information Technology, for which he was awarded the honorary title of Founding Director. Before coming to Florida State University in 1996, he was the Director of the Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering (ICASE) at the NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA. He received his Ph.D. in engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in 1970, and his B.S. and M.S. degrees in mathematics and physics from the University of Madras, India.

He has published over 150 articles, co-authored one book and edited or co-edited 20 volumes. He is editor-in-chief of Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics, editor of Applied Numerical Mathematics, and of Computing in Science and Engineering. Dr. Hussaini's research interests include numerical algorithms for solving partial differential equations and parallel computation on high-performance computers, computational fluid dymanis including electromagnetics, nanofluid mechanics, design optimization (including risk-based design), uncertainty quantification and scientific visualization.
