Have you ever flown on a plane, enjoyed a blockbuster movie or marveled at a 3D printed structure? Boeing 787s and the dinosaurs from Jurassic World are both designed and tested using computational simulations of physics. These simulations are slow, taking days or weeks to return results and this makes the design process frustratingly slow -- akin to sketching with invisible ink which only reveals itself several hours later. My research focuses on dramatically accelerating the simulation process by thousands of times. These new, more powerful tools will enable the design of better cars, planes, buildings and yes, even better dinosaurs.

您是否曾乘坐过飞机、欣赏过大片或惊叹于 3D 打印结构？波音 787 和《侏罗纪世界》中的恐龙都是使用物理计算模拟进行设计和测试的。这些模拟速度很慢，需要几天或几周的时间才能返回结果，这使得设计过程极其缓慢——类似于用隐形墨水画草图，但几个小时后才显现出来。我的研究重点是将模拟过程大幅加速数千倍。这些新的、更强大的工具将能够设计出更好的汽车、飞机、建筑，甚至是更好的恐龙。
