Frank Cole's Webpage

I am a PhD candidate in mathematics at the University of Minnesota, advised by Dr. Yulong Lu. In July, I will join UCLA as a Hedrick Math Fellow (postdoc). You can find my CV here.

My research interests lie in mathematics of machine learning and data science and their application to scientific computing; see my research page for additional details.
