Research
I am interested in the design and analysis of innovative algorithms that solve foundational computational problems in applied mathematics. I particularly enjoy working on high-dimensional and infinite-dimensional problems where ideas from analysis, probability theory, and approximation theory combine in unexpected ways to create new tools for computational scientists.
Recently, I have worked on algorithms for
- data-driven modeling and analysis
- computational spectral theory
- randomized numerical linear algebra
Primary Research Focus
Scientific computing, numerical analysis, and applied mathematics
