Numerical evaluation of highly oscillatory integrals is a difficult problem because oscillations lead to catastrophic cancellations, and can be computationally expensive for large frequencies.
I am interested in the implementation and numerical analysis of quadrature rules based on complex contour deformations to evaluate highly oscillatory integrals. Remarkably, the computational cost of these methods is independent of the frequency, and they become more accurate as frequency increases.
Problems involving scattering by waves is an ubiquitous problem in physics and enginnering. Methods based on Boundary Integral Equations provide powerful framework for modelisation and numerical simulations of waves. I am interested in developing robust, accurate and efficient solvers based on BIE to simulate wave scattering by periodic structures.
