معرفی
Alen Alexanderian is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at North Carolina State University (NC State), serving since 2022. Previously, he was an Assistant Professor at NC State (2015-2022), a Research Associate and Postdoctoral Fellow at The University of Texas at Austin’s ICES (2012-2015), and a Postdoctoral Fellow at Johns Hopkins University (2010-2012). He earned his PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (2010), with prior degrees including an MS (2007) and BA in Mathematics (2005) from Hood College.
His research focuses on numerical analysis, scientific computing, and uncertainty quantification. Key areas include numerical methods for inverse problems, optimization under uncertainty, Bayesian inversion, and sensitivity analysis. He develops algorithms for optimal experimental design and applies these to large-scale inverse problems in engineering and science.
His recent work emphasizes hyper-differential sensitivity analysis, robust optimal design under model uncertainty, and applications in PDE-constrained optimization. His studies often bridge theoretical developments with practical implementations in fields like porous media flow, biotransport, and epidemiological models.
Notable contributions include frameworks for Bayesian optimal sensor placement, variance-based sensitivity analysis techniques, and scalable computational methods for high-dimensional inverse problems. His research integrates mathematical rigor with computational efficiency, addressing challenges in data assimilation, model reduction, and risk-aware decision-making.
