I am currently an Associate Chair in the Department of Mathematics at Brigham Young University. Contact Information: Brigham Young University Department of Mathematics Provo, UT 84602 Office: 348 TMCB Office Phone: (801)422-2648 Email:

I am codirector of the BYU Applied and Computational Mathematics Emphasis.

This degree program develops skills in computaional and mathematical tools required for the twenty-first century (including the skills required for data science).

Textbooks

The textbooks for the ACME program are being published by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). I am a co-author on the first book: Volume 1: Mathematical Analysis

Information about Volume 1 (and the ACME program in general):

• Here is a copy of the talk I gave on teaching spectral theory with labs that I gave at the JMM in 2017.
• Here is a copy of the talk I on Foundations of Applied (and Computational) Mathematics at ICCS in 2017.
• MathSciNet review (MR3671795): "Well written", "Rich material", "Thoughfully constructed", "Very valuable"
• SIAM video about the book.

Lab Materials

The labs for the ACME program are free and open source and are posted on GitHub.

Research

As an applied mathematician my research interests are varied. Here are some of the areas in which I have and am currently doing research

• Finite Element Methods and Isogeometric Analysis
• Fractal Analysis
• Mathematical Biology
• Graph and Network Theory
• Machine Learning for Rock Identification (RockJockML)
