In 2010, sponsored by the San Jose State University Planning Council, we transcribed an unpublished manuscript by Ian G. Macdonald, called Hypergeometric Functions I, and developed a new course at the Department of Mathematics.
Teaching
Research
Numerical linear algebra, computational mathematics, applied/computational
multivariate statistical analysis and random matrix theory, computational
algebra.
In particular, the
development of efficient algorithms for accurate computations as they
pertain to the these fields.
Items of interest:
- Developed theory and algorithms for accurate computations with sign
regular, totally nonnegative, polynomial Vandermonde, generalized
Vandermonde, semiseparable, and M-matrices
- Developed the first algorithm for computing the eigenvalues of a
nonsymmetric matrix to high relative accuracy in
O(n3)
time
- Developed the fastest algorithm for computing the
hypergeometric
function of a matrix argument
Awards
- Householder Award (for ``Best Dissertation in Numerical Linear
Algebra in the
period 2002-2004''), honorable mention
- Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor, University of California, Berkeley,
1999
- Second Prize, International Mathematics Olympiad, Beijing, China, 1990
- Bulgarian Mathematics Olympiad, ranked third in the nation, 1990
