Juan M. Cardenas

Welcome!

I am currently an Associate Professor in the Institute of Mathematics at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaiso (PUCV).

I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Ann and H.J Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at University of Colorado Boulder, working with Alireza Doostan. Previously, I studied a Ph. D. in Applied Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University, working with Ben Adcock.

My research interest lies in the intersection of applied mathematics, scientific computing, and machine learning. The motivations for my research are surrogate model construction in Uncertainty Quantification (UQ), data-driven learning problems, medical imaging, approximation theory, and compressed sensing.

Full CV available here.

I completed my BSc in Mathematical Engineering in the Departamento de Ingenieria Matematica at the Universidad de Concepcion, Chile, in 2015. In early 2018, I obtained my certification as a Mathematical Engineer at the same institution. My undergraduate thesis was supervised by Prof.Manuel Solano . Then, I worked at the Center of Research in Mathematical Engineering CI2MA. Later, I moved to Vancouver, Canada, to start my PhD studies at Simon Fraser University. Next, I moved to Boulder, Colorado, US, to work as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

I like to do outdoor activities such as biking, playing basketball, but also and drawing, and cooking.
