Dr. Kathryn Lund
Computational mathematician
I am a member of the SCD Computational Mathematics Theme at STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Didcot, Oxfordshire, UK.
From 2022-2024 I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg, Germany, where I was a part of TA2 (Scientific Computing) in the ambitious Mathematical Research Data Initiative (MaRDI).
Prior to moving to Magdeburg, I spent a year in Zürich learning German, tutoring, looking for work, and making friends. Before that, I was a postdoc at Charles University and before that at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL).
My doctorate was jointly awarded in 2018 by Temple University and the University of 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.
