Mathematics

State
University
Spring 2007 I was a Visiting Professor at Arizona State University,
at which time Rosemary Renaut
and I began developing the Chi-squared method
for parameter estimation. The idea for the method came from my experience
working with people in the Oceanography Department at Oregon
State University, and
the Geoscience Department at Boise State University.
Rosie and I are currently developing
practical algorithms for it.
The 2003-2004 academic year I received a grant from the NSF program
``Interdisciplinary Grants in the Mathematical Sciences". I spent
the entire year in the
Geosciences department at
Boise State University learning
new problems for research, and subsequently I am part of
the Dry Creek
Experimental Watershed Hydrologic Research Group and
the
Computational Mathematics and Statistics in Geosciences group
both at Boise State.
Fall 1998 - Fall 2000 I was a post-doctoral fellow in the
College of Oceanic and
Atmospheric Sciences at
Oregon State Univeristy , where I
worked on Ocean Modeling with
Andrew Bennett .
April was math awareness month and the 2001 theme was mathematics and
the ocean. Follow this link to read
some thoughts
about using math to study the ocean.
I graduated from the
Math department at
Arizona State University
in 1998, with
a Ph.D.
in numerical analysis,
under the direction
of Rosemary Renaut.
The title of my dissertation is "Numerical
Methods in Computational Aeroacoustics",
(abstract). Please contact
me if you would like a copy.
At Arizona State, I participated in the
Preparing Future
Faculty program. This program educates graduate students
about teaching, research, and service at research universities,
comprehensive universities, liberal arts colleges and
community colleges.
