Daniel Karrasch
Daniel Karrasch graduated in 2012 with a PhD in Mathematics from TU Dresden, Germany. After a postdoctoral fellowship at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, he now works as a postdoctoral researcher in the Scientific Computing group at TU Munich, Germany. His research interests are in applied and computational mathematics, with a focus on dynamical systems theoretical approaches to the study of fluid motion. He is an enthusiastic contributor to the Julia language, mostly in the area of linear algebra.
Session
In this talk, I present LinearMaps.jl, a well-established Julia package for handling linear maps whose action on vectors is given by the classic matrix-vector product or by the application of a function to a vector. I will focus on two recently added features, namely (diagonal) block concatenation and (higher-order) Kronecker products and sums of such abstract linear maps.
