Min Hyung Cho

Min Hyung Cho is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UMass Lowell). He specializes in computational mathematics, applied mathematics, electromagnetics, numerical solutions of PDEs, and scientific computing. His research focuses on developing high-performance numerical algorithms for wave scattering problems in complex media, including layered media and metamaterials. He has contributed to integral equation methods, fast multipole methods (FMM), and volume integral equation techniques for solving Helmholtz and Maxwell equations in layered environments.

Cho holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He has received the Teaching Excellence Award (2017) from UMass Lowell. His work has been supported by grants such as the NSF Collaborative Research grant (2020) and a Simons Foundation Collaboration Grant (2016).

Cho’s recent research emphasizes spectrally-accurate numerical methods for acoustic scattering, robust fast direct solvers for quasi-periodic problems, and efficient algorithms for layered media Green’s functions. His publications span journals like Journal of Computational Physics, SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, and Computer Physics Communications.

His academic activities include organizing minisymposia at conferences like ICIAM and presenting at institutions such as Yale University and the University of Arizona. He also contributes to educational initiatives in differential equations and computational mathematics.
