Per Pettersson


Ph.D student in Numerical Analysis at the Division of Scientific Computing.
I started as a Ph.D student in numerical analysis at Uppsala University and Stanford University in the
summer of 2008. I pursue my PhD at Stanford at the Center for Turbulence Research (CTR) and the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (iCME).
My research is in the field of numerical solutions to hyperbolic problems with uncertain data. The work is supported by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).
