Mathematical Sciences Dept. Lectured and advised students in remedial and baccalaureate courses. Wrote learning resource web-sites. Graduate Assistant/Instructor September 1988 -- August 1998 K.S.U. Dept. of Mathematics and Computer Science Cuyahoga Community College - Div. of Mathematics and Technologies Cleveland State University - Div. of Special Studies Duties alternated between teaching and research. Investigated numerical methods for liquid crystal optics, designed algorithms and implemented software used in computational optics. Taught and tutored remedial courses in basic algebra as well as introductory statistics and calculus. Quality Control Engineer May 1989 -- August 1989 Chardon Industrial Rubber Co., Chardon OH Consulted with fabrication and process engineers on control of industrial processes for molding, milling and hardening of rubber products. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES Primary Interests Analysis and numerical solution of differential equations arising in computa- tional physics. Applied new numerical methods for highly oscillatory o.d.e.'s to the optics of planar anisotropic liquid crystals. Also investigating app- lications of liquid crystals to optical data communication systems.
