Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGonzalo Benavides is an applied mathematician and PhD candidate at the University of Maryland with 8 years of research and teaching experience focused on analysis and numerical methods for PDEs on non-smooth manifolds. As a Research Assistant under Dr. Ricardo Nochetto (NSF-supported), he develops novel Lp/L2 regularity estimates for tangent Stokes equations and proves well-posedness for Beris–Edwards Q-tensor models of nematic liquid crystals on thin shells. He combines deep theoretical work with practical algorithm design, producing provably convergent numerical schemes and a track record of mixed finite element methods from prior magnetohydrodynamics projects. Gonzalo’s background includes creating a Julia package for polynomial computations and contributions to orthogonal polynomial theory, underscoring his computational-mathematical fluency. A dedicated educator, he has served as TA for numerous undergraduate courses while maintaining active research productivity. His work bridges geometric PDE theory and implementable solvers, aiming for rigorous yet computationally effective solutions to complex continuum problems.
