APPM graduate Adrianna Gillman, Ph.D. 2011, will begin a tenure-track position at Rice University in the Department of Computational and Applied Mathematics in August 2014.
Dr. Gillman completed her undergraduate work at Cal State Northridge, where she earned bachelor¹s and master¹s degrees in mathematics. After completing her dissertation, "Fast Direct Solvers for Elliptic Partial Differential Equations," with advisor Gunnar Martinsson, she served as the John Wesley Young Research Instructor in Mathematics at Dartmouth College from 2011 to 2014.
From the Rice announcement: "Her research focuses on fast direct solvers for linear partial differential and integral equations. Her computational tools are crucial to multiple science and engineering applications, including materials science, radar, device modeling, and imaging and remote sensing."
