The emergence of stupendously large matrices in applications such as data mining and large-scale scientific simulations has rendered the classical software frameworks and numerical methods inadequate in many situations. In this talk, I will demonstrate how building domain-specific compilers and reformulating classical mathematical methods significantly improve the performance and scalability of large-scale applications on modern computing platforms.

Despite the ubiquity of touch-based input and the availability of increasingly computationally powerful touchscreen devices, there has been comparatively little work on enhancing basic canonical gestures such as swipe-to-pan and pinch-to-zoom.

Professor Maura Grossman has been recognized by eDiscovery Daily as a thought leader driving the development and application of electronic discovery, computer-assisted processes used to select and prioritize legal documents for review.
