Three postdoctoral fellows for 1997 and nine long-term visitors are working with MU's mathematics professors in a variety of research areas. The fellows are George Androulakis, Brian MacCrimmon and Qi S. Zhang.
Androulakis, whose research interests are in functional analysis, is working with Stamatis Dostoglou and with a group led by Haskell Rosenthal at the University of Texas at Austin, where Androulakis received his PhD.
Commutative algebra, specifically in tight closure, is the research area of MacCrimmon, who is working with Ian Aberbach. MacCrimmon received his PhD from the University of Michigan, under the direction of Melvin Hochester.
Working in PDEs with Zhongxin Zho, Zhang received his PhD from Purdue University, under the direction of Nicola Garofalo.
In long-term research, Michael Frazier of Michigan State University is working in harmonic analysis and wavelets, and writing an undergraduate text on wavelets. His contacts are with MU's Igor Verbitsky, Fritz Gesztesy and Marius Mitrea.
See the separate article on the research of visitor Gilles Godefroy.
Visiting from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Helge Holden is investigating integrable systems, stochastic PDES, and hyperbolic conservation laws and flow in porous media. He is working with Fritz Gesztesy.
Byung Kim of Chungju National University in South Korea works in the integral theory of Banach spaces and is interested in developing math textbooks using Mathematica. He is working also on a calculus textbook using Mathematica.
Two researchers are visiting from the Universite de Franche-Comte, France. Florence Lancien and Gilles Lancien, who work in harmonic analysis and Banach space geometry, are with the functional analysis group.
Niels J. Nielsen of Odense University, Denmark, is working with Peter Casazza in the Banach Space Theory. As part of the UM Faculty Exchange Program, Tim Randolph of UM-Rolla is pursuing research interests in functional analysis, and operator methods in dynamics and control with Yuri Latushkin.
Eduard R. Tsekanovskii, formerly of the Soviet Union, is researching several aspects of functional analysis with Fritz Gesztesy.
