About me

I’m Gabriel Pinochet-Soto, a 26-year-old graduate student at Portland State University. I’m doing my Ph.D. in Mathematical Sciences; I started in Fall 2021. Previously, I got my Master and Bachelor degree in Mathematics at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso. I also attended IMPA’s summer school in 2019 and the Second NGSolve user meeting in 2018. I’ve worked in ANL and LLNL as an intern.

I like math. I like (most of) analysis. My current interests are functional analysis, numerical analysis, and numerical methods for differential equations. During my bachelor, I worked on numerical methods for production-destruction models. I worked on resistivity measurements in axisymmetrical settings during my master. I am currently focusing on (time-harmonic) Maxwell equations, adaptivity, eigenvalue analysis, numerical linear algebra, and other related topics.

Currently, my favorite Theorems are Grothendieck’s characterization of compact sets in normed spaces, Banach’s fixed point principle, and Arzelà-Ascoli Theorem. My favorite proof is Urysohn’s Lemma proof by indexing separating sets with dyadic numbers.

I also like to play guitar, pretend I can write songs and poetry, read comics, watch shows, and listen to music while biking around the waterfront. I’ve been living in Portland, Oregon, for more than three years. Previously, I lived in Viña del Mar, Rio de Janeiro, Hayward, and Livermore.
