Lexing YingAssociate Professor

Lexing Ying is an associate professor of mathematics, and affiliated with the ICES Center for Numerical Analysis. He studied computer science and applied mathematics at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where he received a B.S. in 1998, and New York University, where he received an M.S. in 2000 and a Ph.D. in 2004. He was a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology for two years, before joining the university in 2006. Ying’s research focuses on developing fast and accurate numerical algorithms for problems in acoustics and electromagnetics, computational seismology, computational material sciences, and transport theory. With colleagues and students, he has made significant contributions in these areas, including kernel independent fast multi-pole methods, directional fast multi-pole method and butterfly algorithm for oscillatory kernels, efficient preconditioners for time-harmonic wave equations, and efficient methods for electronic structure calculation. He has authored more than 40 scientific and technical publications, and served on the editorial board of “Communications in Mathematical Sciences.” He was awarded the Sloan Research Fellowship in 2007, a National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2009, and the Feng Kang Prize in Scientific Computing from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2011.
