Alexander W. Hsu

I’m an NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Courant Institute at New York University, working with Andrew Stuart. I work in applied analysis, computational math and AI.

I finished my PhD in Applied Math at the University of Washington in 2026, advised by Bamdad Hosseini and Sasha Aravkin. During my PhD, I was also a graduate student researcher at the IHME developing better statistical methods for aggregating large scale longitudinal data to improve estimates in global health.

Before that, I did a joint bachelors/masters at Claremont McKenna College and Claremont Graduate University, majoring in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science, and obtaining a masters in Applied and Computational Mathematics. In the past, I’ve worked on covering problems in discrete geometry and theoretical neuroscience from the lens of recurrent networks.
