Loyce M. Adams Department: Applied Mathematics Area of Research: Numerical Analysis, Iterative Methods, Parallel Computing http://www.amath.washington.edu/~adams/ adams@amath.washington.edu Professor Adams is a faculty member in the Department of Applied Mathematics. Her current research interest is in the development of multilevel numerical methods for solving elliptic partial differential equations with discontinuous coefficients. Other interests include Krylov space methods for solving linear systems, eigenvalue problems, and designing numerical methods for parallel computers. Professor Adams served as the Graduate Program Coordinator in Applied Mathematics, helped design the Applied and Computational Mathematical Sciences (ACMS) undergraduate program, and was the Director of the UW VIGRE Program during its first three years. She presently is the Director of the UW GK-12 Program in Mathematics which places graduate students as math specialists in K-12 classrooms. |

Douglas A. Lind Department: Mathematics Area of Research: Ergodic Theory http://www.math.washington.edu/~lind/ lind@math.washington.edu Douglas Lind received his BA from the University of Virginia and PhD from Stanford under Don Ornstein. After holding a Miller Postdoctoral Fellowship at UC Berkeley for two years and spending a year at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Jerusalem, he joined the faculty of the University of Washington in 1976, where he has been ever since, except for occasional time off for good behavior. His research interests include ergodic theory and symbolic dynamics, and with Brian Marcus he has written the first textbook on symbolic dynamics. He was department chair from 1993 to 1998, has served on several committees of the American Mathematical Society, and is currently a Trustee of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley. He has served as Coordinator for the UW VIGRE grant since the autumn of 2002. |

Ka-Kit Tung Department: Applied Mathematics Area of Research:large-scale nonlinear wave dynamics, modeling of stratospheric circulation and transport of chemical trace gases, and problems in ozone and global change. http://www.amath.washington.edu/~tung tung@amath.washington.edu Professor Tung received his baccalaureate and master's degrees at the California Institute of Technology, both in 1972, in the field of Aeronautical Engineering. He earned his doctorate degree in Applied Mathematics at Harvard University in 1977, where he also stayed on for two more years as a postdoc before moving on to MIT, first as an Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics and then as an Associate Professor. He spent two years as Professor of Mathematics and Computer Sciences at Clarkson University (1986-1988), before joining the Department of Applied Mathematics at University of Washington as Professor of Applied Mathematics. His other affiliations are: Associate, Center for Earth and Planetary Physics, Harvard University (1979-1983); Associate, Center for Meteorology and Physical Oceanography, MIT (1983-1990); John Simon Guggenheim Fellow (1985-1986); Visiting Professor, Center for Meteorology and Physical Oceanography, MIT (1987-1990); Guest Lecturer, National Center for Atmospheric Research (Summer, 1978, 1987); Visiting Lecturer, NASA Goddard Laboratory for the Atmospheres (Summer, 1987); and Lecturer, Ettore Majorana Center for Scientific Culture, International School of Atmospheric Physics, Erice, Italy (November, 1986). He is a current member of the American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union, the Meteorological Society of Japan, and the Royal Meteorological Society of United Kingdom. Professor Tung's primary teaching interests are methods of applied mathematics and geophysical fluid dynamics. His research interests concern large-scale nonlinear wave dynamics, modeling of stratospheric circulation and transport of chemical trace gases, and problems in ozone and global change. |
