PhD. in Numerical Analysis. The University of Iowa, mentor: Kendall E. Atkinson.
My current research interest is in mathematical models for ecological problems: dynamics of predator-prey type models and ecological networks algorithms.
I am done with teaching, grading and committee services, from now on, just Math and joy.
