Biography:
Dr. Jacob Moore is a Research Professor at Mississippi State University's Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS). He has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, and his research focuses on developing numerical methods for high-order hydrodynamics. For his dissertation, he developed the first arbitrary-order 3D nodal Discontinuous Galerkin method for Lagrangian hydrodynamics. He also has a background in simulation techniques for multi-scale materials modeling using the Integrated Computational Engineering approach, which builds models starting with density functional theory calculations and bridging each length scale. His current work focuses on automating the verification and validation of the solvers in the Fierro Mechanics code and adding new high-performance GPU portable solvers for engineering applications leveraging modern HPC systems.
Research Interest:
I am currently researching numerical methods and software design for simulating solid mechanics, with a focus on additive manufacturing. The goal is to create a highly performant GPU portable simulation tool for predictive simulations of AM processes that both predict and account for microstructure effects. I am also interested in high-order methods for hydrodynamics, both Eulerian and Lagrangian, as well as particle methods for deformation mechanics.

All of this research is done in the open source R&D 100 Award Winning Fierro Mechanics Software Suite: https://lanl.github.io/Fierro/
Git repo to Fierro: https://github.com/lanl/Fierro
Hobbies:
I've had a long-term love of blacksmithing and I hope to soon have access to a smithy again. I have moved quite a bit recently, and anvils don't travel well.
