Numerical Analysis Seminar: David Schneider

Our seminar focuses on efficient computational methods for numerical problems, mostly phrased in a mathematical language, arising in areas of science throughout the Institute and beyond. Topics include signal processing and data analysis (spike sorting of neural recordings, cryo-EM for protein imaging, audio representation); computational statistics (with applications such as the ocean microbiome); PDEs (fluid flow, waves), integral equations, spectral methods, “fast” algorithms (i.e., close to optimal complexity); software libraries and programming. We discuss research topics as well as review classical topics in numerical analysis.
