Profile/About Me
Evan Butterworth is a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences with a concentration in computational mathematics. After earning a B.S. in mathematics from Georgia Southern University, Evan was accepted into a direct Ph.D. program and earned his M.S. en route. Equipped with a strong foundation in mathematical modeling, finite element analysis, and high-performance computing, he is a hardworking and dedicated researcher driven by a genuine adoration for learning. Currently, his research explores a mathematical model describing membrane-based virus purification, a process frequently utilized in the production of biopharmaceutical products. He develops and rigorously analyzes high-order mathematical methods to perform accurate simulations efficiently. The merit of this work is in its versatility, as the core ideas apply to a wide range of problems found across various disciplines. Evan is pursuing a postdoctoral opportunity at a national lab or in industry, and intends to continue working with interdisciplinary teams of researchers to solve challenging real-world problems.
