Albert Chern is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California, San Diego, where he joined in 2020 after completing a postdoctoral research position at Technische Universität Berlin. He received his Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology in 2017, along with a master's and bachelor's degree from National Taiwan University. His research focuses on numerical analysis, differential geometry, algebraic topology, differential equations, and computational mathematics, with a particular interest in the interplay between these fields. Chern's work includes physical modeling, geometric language, and discretization methods that preserve structures of continuous analogs, addressing challenges in fluid dynamics, geometry processing, and classical numerical partial differential equations (PDE), particularly in the context of absorbing boundary conditions and wave computations.
