he
decided
to
pursue
a
PhD
in
Computational
Mathematics.
He
spent
a
year
doing
course
work
at
the
Max
Plank
Institute
in
Bonn
and
subsequently
went
to
MIT
to
learn

Edelman.
In
2010
he
joined
Shell
as
a
lead
in
computational
image
processing
and
implemented
various
workflows
in
image
processing
and
inversion
routines.
During
his
Shell
tenure
he
also
held
a
fellowship
at
MIT
continuing
with
the
work
on
distributed
algorithm
with
a
focus
on
implementing
Julia
solution.
In
2017
he
became
the
team
lead
at
Readcoor,
a
spatial
sequencing
company
spun
out
of
Harvard
while
also
creating
his
own
startup
around
big
data
for
image
processing.
This
startup
currently
has
a
consortium
with
the
petroleum
engineering
department
at
UH.
Alon
previously
held
an
adjunct
position
at
