Field-Of-Study: Applied Mathematics

Daniel L. Stein is Professor of Physics and Mathematics at New York University. From 2006 to 2012 he served as NYU Dean of Science.  Prior to coming to NYU, he served on the faculties at Princeton University and at the University of Arizona, where he was Head of the Department of Physics for a decade.

Doron Levy is a Distinguished Scholar Teacher and a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park. He has advanced the integration of math in medicine, receiving national and international recognition for his work on cancer. Earning B.Sc. (Mathematics and Physics), M.Sc (Applied Mathematics), and Ph.D. (1997) degrees from Tel Aviv University, Levy

Peter Clote is Professor of Biology at Boston College, with courtesy appointment in Computer Science. He is an international expert in computational biology, with focus on RNA. Earning B.Sc. and PhD degrees in mathematics from MIT and Duke University, as well as a Doctorat d’Etat from Université Paris 7, Clote has held faculty positions in

I received my B.S. in Physics from St. Petersburg State University, Russia. I went to graduate school at Caltech, and received my Ph.D. in Mathematics under the guidance of Barry Simon.  My Ph.D. work was on quantum scattering, and tools of Fourier analysisthat were novel in this context. My last year at Caltech had been

Vahid Tarokh received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering in 1995. He worked at AT&T Labs-Research and AT&T Wireless Services until 2000 where he was (in chronological order) Senior Member of Technical Staff, Principal Member of Technical Staff and Head of Department of Wireless Communications and Signal Processing. In 2000, he joined the Electrical Engineering

John Wettlaufer is an applied mathematician with enterprises that lie on and sometimes define the boundaries between what are considered more traditional disciplines. He draws together and develops new approaches in applicable mathematics and condensed matter physics, with implications in astrophysical, biophysical, environmental, geophysical, and technological problems. The scales of his interests range from atomic

Ovidiu Costin studied physics as an undergraduate; between 1991 and 1995 he studied mathematics at Rutgers University, obtaining his Ph.D. in mathematics under the direction of Martin Kruskal. From 1995 to 1998 he was a Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago, and in 1998 he returned to Rutgers as assistant, and then associate professor.  He

David Zingg, Director of the Institute for Aerospace Studies at the University of Toronto, joined the faculty in 1988 and became Director in 2006. His research areas include aerodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, and aerodynamic shape optimization. His current research is concentrated on applying aerodynamic shape optimization to the design of unconventional low-drag aircraft configurations motivated
