Professor Dr. Carl Mikkelsen

Biography

Carl C Kjelgaard Mikkelsen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computing Science at Umeå University. His research and teaching focus primarily on numerical analysis and high-performance parallel computing. He has contributed to the development of algorithms that address complex problems, particularly in the context of parallel computing techniques. His work includes significant contributions as a co-author of the StarNEig library, which is designed to solve dense nonsymmetric standard generalized eigenvalue problems efficiently. Kjelgaard Mikkelsen is actively engaged in research related to the development of parallel constraint solvers and approaches for handling ultra-sparse linear systems. He is committed to teaching students how to analyze and design algorithms that tackle challenging computational problems, emphasizing the crucial distinctions between exact arithmetic employed by humans and finite precision arithmetic utilized by computers. He invests considerable effort in guiding his students to document software structure and produce well-written reports, which reflects his dedication to their professional development.
