RESEARCH INTERESTS
Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing: In particular I am interested in ill-posed problems and their applications to image restoration and medical imaging. I am also interested
in iterative methods for large linear systems of equations.

COMPUTER SKILLS
I have a substantial experience using scientific packages such as Mathematica, Maple, Latex
Editor, Scientific Workplace as well as Microsoft office. I am adept at programming in
C/C++ and Matlab. While working on my Ph.D. program at Kent State University I
took several high level computer science classes, including Data Structures, Algorithms, and
Computer Architecture.

TEACHING INTERESTS
I am interested in teaching courses in all areas of mathematics. In addition, my background
in Computer Science and Statistics makes it possible for me to teach basic computer science
courses and most statistics courses.
