Christopher Wang
I am a PhD student in mathematics at Cornell University. My primary research interest is the numerical analysis of PDEs. My advisor is Alex Townsend. Before Cornell, I was an undergraduate at Columbia University, where I worked with Ioannis Karatzas on bandit problems. I am supported by the NSF GRFP.
I subscribe to the commitments of the Just Mathematics Collective.
