Research
My current research interest is numerical linear algebra for high-performance computing.
The specific focus is the design, analysis, implementation, and experimental evaluation of
software and algorithms that use mixed-precision arithmetic to address the fundamental
problem of solving systems of linear equations, $Ax = b$, that arise in a wide range of applications.
