Sebastian Gutierrez Hernandez
Welcome! Thanks for checking out my website.
I am currently a fifth-year CSE Ph.D. student (expected graduation: Fall 2026). I am seeking summer 2026 internships and full-time positions.
During my Ph.D., I have focused on two main research areas. My primary interest is developing computational methods for solving Optimal Transport problems with Lagrangian costs under the direction of Prof. Haomin Zhou. Additionally, I have been working on Operator Learning techniques for solving PDE-constrained optimization under uncertainty with Prof. Peng Chen.
In the summer of 2024, I interned at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL) under the supervision of Dr. Mouhacine Benosmann and Dr. Saviz Mowlavi.
As of Fall 2025, I am serving as President of the SIAM Student Chapter. If you are interested in being added to the mailing list or presenting, please reach out!
Outside of academia, I enjoy spending time in nature, cooking, and listening to music, particularly Japanese jazz. I maintain a curated playlist if you’re interested!
