Numerical solution of non-linear diffusion problems.Which is actually
a lot more interesting than it sounds.


I didn't know doctorates were awarded quite that way. I always thought they
were awarded in broad fields like math or physics or computer science.

Did you develop some new numerical techniques for such problems? Was your
work done in a math or computer science department?

Well, technically it's just a doctorate over here. It's the thesis
title and contents which matter.

Yup.

Engineering!
