Nick Dexter

Welcome!

I am a Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) Postdoctoral Fellow working with Professor Ben Adcock at Simon Fraser University. I studied mathematics at the University of Tennessee under Clayton Webster, and worked in the Computational and Applied Mathematics Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

In August 2022, I will be joining the Department of Scientific Computing at Florida State University as a tenure-track Assistant Professor.

My research interests are in machine learning, sparse polynomial approximations, compressed sensing, optimization, applied & computational harmonic analysis, parameterized PDE problems, and numerical analysis.
