Holmes, David
B.Eng(Hons) in Mechanical Engineering and Ph.D. in Computational Mechanics from James Cook University, specializing in the development and implementation of numerical simulation algorithms.

Presently a Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at QUT. My current research is centered around the development of multi-phase, multi-physics numerical simulation software for application to a wide range of problems including flows through porous media and biomedical research. Additionally, I work on image processing software, the development of programmatic frameworks for deployment of physics applications on parallel hardware architectures, and a range of pedagogical developments in higher education.

Specialties: Numerical simulation, mesh-free particle methods, smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH), finite difference (FD), discrete element method (DEM), finite element method (FEM), ANSYS, Fluent, enhanced oil recovery, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), image processing, curriculum mapping, software development, programming for high performance computing architectures like multi-core and GPGPU.
