Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate students enrolled in our program are welcome to contact me to participate on current reasearch projects.

Graduate Students

Graduate students already enrolled in our graduate program and interested in the theoretical and/or computational aspects of

  • Learning the solution to PDEs with incomplete data

  • or

  • Any topic related to the finite element approximation of the solution to a partial differential equation

should contact me directly.

To be well prepared for research you should consider the following recommendation on the classes to take

  • Qualifying Exam

    Applied Math. and Real Analysis possibly replaced by Algebra

  • Other Recommended Classes

    Any special topic class in numerical analysis, approximation theory or PDEs, MTH661, MTH 676, MTH611, MTH 612.

Postdoctoral fellows or visiting assistant professors

The mathematics department at Texas A&M has a VAP program. Applications are (usually) open every year. For more information, visit the departmental hiring webpage.
