Alan George

Degrees

• Ph.D., Stanford University (1971)
• M.Sc., University of Alberta (1966)
• B.Sc., University of Alberta (1964)

Research interests

• My primary focus is the (numerous and varied) problems associated with solving very large sparse systems of equations
• Some examples include analysis of the complexity of certain algorithms, numerical stability issues, design of efficient data structures, design of software packages with good user interfaces, and automatic identification of exploitable parallelism in sparse matrix computations
