Frank Fan

I'm an incoming PhD student at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Prof. Gladimir Baranoski. I am also affiliated with the Natural Phenomena Simulation Group.

Previously, I obtained both my Master's of Mathematics and my Bachelor of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo. Feel free to read my Master's thesis!
