christopher mckinlay

Welcome!

I am a PhD candidate in the Mathematics Dept. at the University of California, Los Angeles. I am advised by Chris Anderson. My main research interests are in digital signal processing and parallel numerical methods, particularly throughput-oriented and stream processing methods. In addition to my dissertation work I have spent the past four years doing research at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, mainly on wavelets and implementing operator compression algorithms on accelerator hardware. I've given a number of talks on this and was recently featured in an article which also describes some of this work. [my cv]
