Computer experience

At Western Michigan University, I have been using the computer as a major tool for my Ph.D. research projects, the simulation/modeling of the electromagnetic systems, particularly the photonic crystals. I also use the computer in order to solve basic quantum mechanics problems, e.g. wavepacket hitting a potential barrier etc. I frequently use the following computer softwares/systems:

• Fortran 77/90/95 (Fortran 77 standard tutorial) I used Fortran for most of my dissertation research projects, particularly, for nonlinear Difference Equation algorithms. Fortran 77 is still the standard programming language for DE theory. I used Fortran also for FDTD calculations.

• I used C, C++, and Python to run others programs related to FDTD calculations.

• Linux (Ubuntu/Kubuntu, Suse, RedHat/Fedora)

• Unix (VMS/VAX - a commercial version)

• Routines from: IMSL, EISPACK, LAPACK, LINPACK, MINPACK

• Mathematica (I used Mathematica to simulate Quantum Wells and other nanostructured systems in my M.S. thesis project at CMU)

• Matlab and/or octave (particularly for FDTD simulation and photonic crystal band structure calculations)

• Maple (I used Maple for symbolic calculations long time ago, and in the Summer 2009.)

• GNU plot (one of the best tool for plottings, I used gnuplot when I was analysing the results as it can be called directly to the Fortran program)

• OpenOffice, Kate, Kwrite, gedit, Xfig including other Linux tools for plottings and editings.

• Microsoft Office, FrontPage, Visio, LaTex, OriginLab (best for the final data presentation)

• I am interested in java and parallel computer processing, but it depends on situation ... !
