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. |

Anne Greenbaum Department: Mathematics Area of Research: Numerical Analysis, Iterative Methods, Parallel Computing http://www.math.washington.edu/~greenbau/ greebau@math.washington.edu Anne Greenbaum works in the area of numerical analysis, especially numerical linear algebra, matrix theory and its applications, and fast methods for partial differential equations and integral equations. She is the author of a book on Iterative Methods for Solving Linear Systems, published by SIAM. She received her Bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan in 1974 and her PhD from the University of California at Berkeley in 1981. She worked as a mathematician at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory from 1974--1986, then joined the Courant Institute at New York University, where she was a Research Professor from 1986--1997. She is now a Professor in the Mathematics Department at the University of Washington. Awards include the B. Bolzano Honorary Medal for Merit in the Mathematical Sciences, awarded in 1997 by the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, and the SIAM Activity Group on Linear Algebra award for Outstanding Paper in Applicable Linear Algebra during 1991--1993. Aside from mathematics, her interests include tennis and hiking. |

Randall J. LeVeque Department: Applied Mathematics Area of Research: Numerical Analysis, Nonlinear Conservation Laws and Hyperbolic Systems http://www.amath.washington.edu/~rjl/ rjl@amath.washington.edu Randy LeVeque is Professor of Applied Mathematics and an adjunct professor of Mathematics. He received the B.A. in Mathematics from UCSD in 1977, and the Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University in 1982. He joined the University of Washington in 1985 after being an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the Courant Institute (NYU) and Hedrick Assistant Professor at UCLA. LeVeque's research primarily concerns numerical methods for solving nonlinear partial differential equations arising in physical applications, particularly computational fluid dynamics and wave propagation problems. He is interested in the design of better algorithms, their software implementation, and application to specific problems in science and engineering. He served as Director of the ACMS undergraduate degree program during its first four years, and is a P.I. on the University of Washington's VIGRE grant. He is actively involved in the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, serving on the SIAM Council and as a section editor for the journal SIAM Review. |
