Research Focus
Numerical analysis, scientific computing, and deep learning
I am interested in the study and development of numerical algorithms in applied mathematics. I mainly work in the following three areas: (1) Novel spectral methods for the solution of differential equations, (2) Low-rank techniques, and (3) Theoretical aspects of deep learning.
