My home department is the Department of Mathematical Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences at Kent State University. The Department offers degree programs at the bachelor, masters, and doctoral levels in mathematics and applied mathematics. I am actively involved in the Applied Mathematics Program.
My training is in numerical analysis. My current interests are in the area of computational applied mathematics, in general, and computational problems in liquid crystals, in particular. My interest in liquid crystals stems from the fact that there exists at Kent a major research institute devoted to their study: the Liquid Crystal Institute (LCI).
The LCI is the locus of the Center on Advanced Liquid Crystalline Optical Materials (ALCOM), which was created as an NSF Science and Technology Center (STC) and in which I was a Principal Investigator (one of a large number). I am also a member of the program faculty of the Chemical Physics Interdisciplinary Program (CPIP), in which I regularly teach a two-semester graduate sequence in numerical computing. I also served for 4 years (2000-2004) as Treasurer of the International Liquid Crystal Society (ILCS), a professional organization with nearly 1,000 members, from more that 40 countries.
I also am a member of the Program Faculty for our interdisciplinary masters program in Financial Engineering, which we offer jointly with the Department of Finance, and with the participation of the Department of Economics, both in the College of Business at Kent.
More information about administration, awards, grants, publications,
and students is available in my short vita.
