Hello, my name is Kirk. M. Soodhalter.  I am an assistant professor of mathematics at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland.

This is my personal math website. There is also a departmental website.

In the fall (Michaelmas), I teach MAU11601: Introduction to Programming and MAP55633: Numerical Methods for High Performance Computing. In the spring (Hilary) I teach MAU23602: Introduction to Numerical Analysis.

I am the former Vice President of the SIAM UK and Ireland Section.  SIAM UKIE is holding its annual meeting 22 March 2024 at the University of Manchester.

Are you interested in pursuing applications to the IRC or other funding body to be Ph.D. student or postdoc in my group?  Please inquire for more information.  I am currently advertising a PhD position for a project in collaboration with biomedical engineers for an application in neurology.

I am the current Coordinator of the MSc in High Performance Computing.
