Sofia Eriksson's homepage

PhD student in Numerical Analysis at the Division of Scientific Computing. My name is Sofia Eriksson and I started as a PhD student in numerical analysis in 2007. My research is in the field of numerical solvers for time-dependent partial differential equations. In particular I am interested in accurate and stable boundary procedures. Contact details: Sofia Eriksson Research: Projects Supervisors: Jan Nordström, Gunilla Kreiss

Degree

• Master of Science in Engineering Physics, Uppsala University, Sweden, 2007.

Research interest

The numerical solution of time-dependent partial differential equations.
Ongoing research includes analysis of steady-state computations, interface treatment and boundary treatment.
