I am a mathematician and faculty member in the Mathematics and Statistics Department at Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore. I have my B.S. in mathematics from the University of Iowa and my M.S. and Ph.D in mathematics from the University of Oregon. My dissertation is entitled "Generalized Inverses in Certain Banach Algebras" advised by Dr. Bruce Barnes. My research is currently in applying my functional analysis background to numerical analysis: finite-element methods for solving systems of differential equations in collaboration with Dr. Christos Xenophontos (University of Cyprus). I have designed and taught a course in MATLAB and I know have a published textbook Programming Mathematics Using MATLAB.
