About

Hello, my name is Jacob Scherzer, and I am a junior at The Ohio State University studying Applied Mathematics and Data Analytics. I challenge myself through the most rigorous coursework available, conduct research at the ElectroScience Laboratory on advanced methods for simulating electromagnetics, and lead a team making a graphing calculator with linear algebra capabilities. In addition, I take on projects that integrate the skills and knowledge gained from these experiences to deliver the highest quality work possible for complex real world challenges.

Experience

  • Research Assistant at The Ohio State University
    Feb 2025 - Present · 1 yr 6 mos

    Researched into new ways to incorporate the Tensor Train (TT) decomposition format for Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations. Created an original theorem related to TT-FDTD and algorithm to handle noise in TT-FDTD, with numerical experiments to show results.

  • Tutor at UPchieve
    Feb 2022 - Aug 2023 · 1 yr 7 mos

    Tutored students one-on-one from less privileged backgrounds in math ranging from pre-algebra through calculus 2. Helped these students with homework assignments, test preparation, and SAT preparation.

  • Tutor at Math Matters
    Jan 2022 - Dec 2022 · 1 yr

    Tutored students one-on-one, one-on-two, or two-on-one in math ranging from kindergarten through 12th grade.
