Kathryn Lund
Ph.D./Dr. rer. nat.
Experienced mathematician and educator specializing in numerical linear algebra and high-performance computing
I am currently tutoring mathematics, programming, and English part-time while looking for full-time work in Zürich. Feel free to contact me with inquiries or opportunities! I can tutor in both English and German.
From September 2019 - December 2020, I was a PRIMUS-funded postdoc in the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University working on "Scalable and Accurate Numerical Linear Algebra for Next-Generation Hardware" with Erin Carson. Prior to that, I worked with Daniel Kressner for a year in the Chair of Numerical Algorithms and High-Performance Computing at EPFL.
My doctorate was jointly awarded by Temple University and the Bergische Universität Wuppertal for my thesis A New Block Krylov Subspace Framework with Applications to Functions of Matrices Acting on Multiple Vectors. I was supervised by Daniel B. Szyld and Andreas Frommer.
I have a bachelors degree in Spanish and volunteered as an English teacher for Puentes de Salud in Philadelphia. In addition to Spanish, I speak German, French, Bulgarian, and a few other languages to varying degrees. Check out my hobbies page for my favorite language-learning resources.
