Hello and Welcome! 👋

I am Afzal, a PhD Candidate in Computational Science, Engineering and Mathematics at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. My academic webpage is https://mashadab.github.io/.

• 🔭 I am currently working on the three prominent problems in Earth and Planetary Sciences:

  1. What is the fate of glaciers due to climate warming? Received NASA - JPL Graduate Fellowship and UT Institute for Geophysics Blue Sky Fellowship.
  2. What happened to water on Mars 4 billion years ago? Received Lunar and Planetary Institute Career Development Award.
  3. How can the icy moons of Saturn and Jupiter sustain life below their ice shells? Awarded NASA - JPL Graduate Fellowship and Student Research Award in Planetary Habitability by UT Austin.

• 🌱 I’m currently learning the mathematics and implementation of deep learning and inverse problems.

• 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on exciting research projects.

• 💬 Ask me about Fluid mechanics, Applied mathematics, Planetary science and High-order numerical methods.

• 💬 I support open science, education, and scholarship.
