About me
I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science group at TU Eindhoven. My research interests include large scale numerical linear algebra (theory and applications), data assimilation, and treatment of covariance matrices. Alongside my research I’m interested in outreach and scientific crafting. Contact me at j[.]m[.]tabeart[at]tue[.]nl
News
I’m hiring PhD vacancy at TU/e working on Using numerical linear algebra to exploit structure in data assimilation. More details and apply here. Applications will be screened as they are submitted and the vacancy is live until 6th April 2024.
Paper accepted at Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis with John W. Pearson. Read the accepted version here, published version to follow soon!
Together with Alison Ramage, Amos S. Lawless, Selime Gurol, Jennifer Scott and Melina Freitag our network on Preconditioning for Variational Data Assimilation Problems was funded by the INI Network Support for Mathematical Sciences. Find out more here.
I’ve recently started a new position at TU Eindhoven and moved to the Netherlands! I’m looking forward to new adventures on the mathematical and geographical fronts.
