David Del Rey Fernández is an Assistant Professor at the University of Waterloo, Department of Applied Mathematics. Before joining the University of Waterloo, he was first a postdoctoral researcher and then a research scientist at NASA Langley Research Center and the National Institute of Aerospace.
His research interest is in developing efficient and robust numerical algorithms for the solution of partial differential equations based on novel numerical methods with provable properties, applicable to high-performance computing systems. David’s research is focused on developing the mathematics and algorithms for the efficient solution of a broad class of time-dependent partial differential equations in the context of mathematically rigorous numerical frameworks. In particular, the emphasis is on: 1) robust numerical methods, 2) mesh adaptation, 3) approaches for dealing with geometric complexity and moving meshes, and 4) machine-learning algorithms for automation and increased efficiency.
Parker was awarded his doctorate in Economic Geography from the London School of Economics in 1990. Recent career awards include: 2020 University of Waterloo: President’s Community Impact Award; 2019 Green Communities Canada: Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award; 2019 EDCO (Economic Development Council of Ontario): President’s Award for leadership in economic development through research and training; 2013 University of Waterloo: Award of Excellence in Graduate Supervision.
