Block Low-Rank Matrices for Modern Scientific Computing

Block low-rank matrices provide framework for compressing and accelerating large-scale computations. In this talk, I will introduce the basic principles behind these matrix formats, highlight notable algorithms that exploit their structure, and discuss their growing role in modern computational mathematics. Applications ranging from seismic imaging and computational biology to artificial intelligence will be used to illustrate the broad impact of block low-rank methods on science and engineering.
