ACADEMIC RANK:
Professor of Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences
DEGREES, WHERE AND WHEN CONFERRED:
B.S. (Mathematics), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 1966
Ph.D. (Mathematics), Rensselaer Polytechnic, 1971
FIELD OF SPECIALIZATION AND AREAS OF INTEREST:
I specialize in the development of analytic and numerical methods for nuclear reactor, neutron transport, nonlinear radiative transfer, electron transport, and medical physics problems. My theoretical work involves the derivation of exact, asymptotic, and numerical solutions and the analysis of their mathematical and physical properties. My more applied work involves (a) the development of approximation theories for special types of transport phenomena, (b) the implementation and testing of numerical approxi-mation schemes and iteration methods for deterministic transport problems, and (c) the implementation and testing of variance reduction schemes for Monte Carlo problems.
