I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Dynamical Systems, Signal Processing and Data Analytics (STADIUS) group at KU Leuven. I work in the field of (numerical) linear algebra, with a special focus on fast algorithms for structured matrices and tensors. I am interested in applications in a diverse number of fields ranging from dynamical systems and control, signal processing, machine learning, PDEs, to solving systems of polynomial equations.
My Postdoctoral advisor is Prof. Lieven De Lathauwer. I received my Ph.D. in 2018 at the Mechanical Engineering Department of UC Santa Barbara. The focus of my Ph.D. research was primarily on the computation of Koopman spectra of measure-preserving dynamical systems. I was co-supervised by Prof. Igor Mezić who works in dynamical systems and nonlinear control and Prof. Shivkumar Chandrasekaran of the Scientific Computing group.
