About Dr. Douglas

Craig Douglas joined the University of Wyoming faculty in 2008. He came to the University of Wyoming from the University of Kentucky and Yale University.

He is a School of Energy Resources Distinguished Professor of Mathematics. He leads the NumPor project at the University of Wyoming. His expertise includes eXtreme Technical Computing on parallel supercomputers and GP-GPUs, dynamic interactions between physical models, computation, and networks of sensors to create long running, Big Data applications that are self correcting and do not need to be restarted when new data is generated. He is an expert on multigrid methods and other numerical methods for solving partial differential equations.

Awards

Since coming to the University of Wyoming he has been awarded a Zi-Qiang Professorship of Computer Science Award at Shanghai University (summer 2009), visiting professor at King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (summers 2011-2014), visiting professor at Kyoto University (summers 2015 and 2017), and 21st Century Engineer (International Association of Engineers, Hong Kong, 2017).
