Biography
Dr. D. Sap is a postdoctoral researcher in Computational Mechanics. She obtained her Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Pittsburgh in 2017 under the guidance of Prof. M. Neilan. Her doctoral research focused on the construction of conforming and stable finite element methods for the Stokes problem on cubical and quadrilateral meshes.
Dr. D. Sap has previously held an appointment as a postdoctoral researcher at the International Computer Science Institute at the University of California, Berkeley.
Her current research concerns the development of finite element methods that utilize CAD models and adaptive numerical methods for multi-scale problems.
