Christopher G. Baker was born in 1979 in Marianna, FL. He is a Ph.D. candidate in Computational Science at Florida State University. He is currently participating in an internship at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM, while working on his doctoral dissertation.
His work at Sandia concerns high-performance, robust parallel algorithms in the Trilinos project. Trilinos is a collection of large-scale solvers important in scientific computing (e.g., linear systems, eigenvalue problems, non-linear optimization). Baker's principal work is on Anasazi, the block eigensolvers package.
His master's thesis was entitled "A Block Incremental Algorithm For Computing Dominant Singular Subspaces". This work described and analyzed a family of methods for incrementally computing low-rank approximations of a matrix, based on the truncated SVD. His dissertation concerns the optimization of smooth function defined on Riemannian manifolds. It focuses on the class of retraction-based optimization methods, particularly the Riemannian trust-region methods.
