Dr. Ned Nedialkov

Biography

Ned Nedialkov was born and raised in Bulgaria. He received his M.Sc. in Computer Science in 1995 and Ph.D. in 1999 from the University of Toronto. He has been a faculty member in the Department of Computing and Software at McMaster University since 1999. Ned was a long-term visitor during the Thematic Year on Numerical and Computational Challenges in Science and Engineering at the Fields Institute between 2001-2002, spent a sabbatical year at the Center for Applied Scientific Computing at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 2005-2006, and was a guest of the Arénaire project at École Normale Supérieure de Lyon in the summer of 2008. His research focuses on scientific computing and mathematical software, specifically on interval numerical methods for differential equations and numerical methods for differential-algebraic equations. He is the author of the VNODE and VNODE-LP packages for computing rigorous bounds on initial-value problems in ordinary differential equations. He is also involved in developing high-performance computing numerical algorithms and seeks PhD candidates with a strong background in applied mathematics and computing.
