Alex Gittens' Homepage

I'm a third year grad student in the Applied and Computational Mathematics Department (ACM) at CalTech. I received my undergraduate degrees (EE and Math) from the University of Houston.

I am interested in applications of probability, functional analysis, and differential geometry. Currently I am working on bounding the error of probabilistic sparse matrix approximations in various norms with Joel Tropp.

I am (in Fall 2008) co-teaching the ACM11 course on Mathematica and Matlab.
