Chao’s research generally focuses on developing efficient algorithms for matrix computations with applications to computational tasks ranging from solving partial differential equations to analyzing large high-dimensional datasets. He has been an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics since 2023.
  • Before that, he was a postdoc in the Oden Institute at The University of Texas at Austin.
  • He received his PhD from the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME) at Stanford in 2018.
  • He was an intern at Nvidia Research in summer 2018, an intern at Center for Computing Research in Sandia National Laboratories for three summers (2015-2017), and an intern at Computational Materials Science Group in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in summer 2013.
  • He obtained his BS at Nankai University (Tianjin, China) in 2012.
