About me

Hello! I’m Anthony, a Peng Tsu Ann Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore. I recently completed my PhD in Applied and Interdiscplinary Mathematics and Scientific Computing at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where I was advised by Robert Krasny, Christiane Jablonowski, and Brian Arbic. My research is in applied mathematics and scientific computing with a focus on fast algorithms for problems arising in atmospheric and oceanic modeling.

I have at times been described as a coastal elite; I do not take offense to this characterization. My favorite animal is the penguin; I almost took a selfie with one while I was in Antarctica. I believe that fanfiction is a valuable form of media, and have been an avid consumer of fan works for the past ten or so years. I have also been playing gacha games in one form or another for the past fifteen years. The latest I’ve ever woken up is 8:30 am. My favorite matrix decomposition is the SVD.
