Professor Darve is a member of the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering at Stanford.
Research Centers
Professor Darve is involved in two research centers at Stanford: the Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program or PSAAP, and the Army High-Performance Computing and Research Center, or AHPCRC.
Research
Darve's research is focused on the development of numerical methods for large scale scientific computing with applications in bio molecular simulations, acoustics, electromagnetics, and microfluidics. In these applications, the computational expense of simulating large and complex systems is very significant and in many instances beyond current computer capabilities. Professor Darve is developing innovative numerical techniques to reduce this computational expense and enable the simulation of complex systems over realistic time scales. Examples of numerical techniques include: the fast multipole method, the adaptive biasing force method (free energy of proteins and bio-molecules), and multiscale time integrators. This is applied, among other things, to computing and solving generalized Langevin equation, Fokker-Planck equations, reaction rates, and studying rare events in molecular systems. Professor Darve has also an activity in computer science in which he uses processors with novel architectures, such as GPUs, and the Cell processor, for scientific computing. Applications range from particle simulation to fluid dynamics and solving partial differential equations.
