September/October Featured Reviewer: Hui Liu

Hui Liu obtained his PhD degree in parallel computing and computational mathematics in 2010, at the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Before his PhD study, he studied computational mathematics at the University of Science and Technology of China from 2001 to 2005.

He has worked on parallel computing and numerical methods for partial differential equations. During his PhD study, he focused on adaptive finite element methods, and was one developer of PHG (Parallel Hierarchical Grid), parallel software designed to support h-, p- and hp-adaptive finite element codes. He also studied dynamic load balancing, including refinement trees and space-filling curves.

Hui is currently a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Calgary, Canada, and has been working for the reservoir simulation group since 2010. He is leading the development of GPU-based parallel iterative linear solver projects. So far, one single-GPU package and one multi-GPU package have been developed. The speedup of these two packages--as well as their reservoir simulators--is high.
For Computing Reviews, he specializes in reviews on parallel computing, GPU computing, linear solvers, and numerical methods.
