Professor Dr. Josh Hope Collins

Biography

Josh Hope-Collins is a Research Associate focusing on the development of numerical methods for fluid flow simulations. His research aims to improve the efficiency and speed of simulations and develop practical implementations for high-performance software. He is a member of the Mathematics Planet Earth group, where he investigates parallel-in-time methods for atmospheric models with applications in weather prediction and climate modeling. His work includes developing algorithms that demonstrate the capability for real parallel speedup using software like Firedrake, which is an automated code-generation framework for finite element simulations. In collaboration with leaders in the field, including Professor Colin Cotter, he is advancing the ParaDiag-II class of parallel-in-time methods. His previous academic experience includes completing a DPhil at the Oxford Thermofluids Institute under Rolls Royce plc sponsorship, focusing on the behavior of numerical methods for low Mach number flow and their implications on turbulent heat transfer predictions. His educational background encompasses degrees from the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, and Imperial College London.
