Biography

David Bindel received a Ph.D. in computer science from UC Berkeley in 2006, and was a Courant Instructor of mathematics at NYU from 2006 through 2009. In 2009, he joined the computer science department at Cornell. He received a Sloan Fellowship in 2010, and received the Householder Prize in 2008 for his dissertation. His research interests include numerical linear algebra and computational mechanics, with applications to design of microelectromechanical systems, computer network tomography, and analysis of social networks.
