Hello! I am an Assistant Professor in the University of California San Diego's Department of Mathematics.
I am interested in randomized numerical methods and their applications to data science and scientific computing. Specifically, my work focuses on:
Randomized algorithms. I develop and analyze large-scale iterative methods that leverage randomness to overcome the limitations of traditional algorithms.
Interdisciplinary applications. I apply randomized algorithms to tackle problems in chemistry, astronomy, and geophysics through collaborations with domain experts.
To find out more about my research, take a look at my group members, projects, papers, teaching, curriculum vitae or Google scholar.
Send me an email at rwebber at ucsd.edu if you would like to meet, and if you prefer a nontraditional meeting (running, walking, mountain biking) let me know as well.
