Jorge Balbás

My research interest is in Scientific Computing and Numerical Analysis. In particular, I am interested in the design and implementation of efficient numerical algorithms for solving hyperbolic conservation laws and related time dependent problems. Examples and applications include shallow water flows -- channel and coastal flows, gas dynamics, and magnetohydrodynamics.

John Dye

My research interest is in Probability and Applications to Algorithms, Fluid Dynamics, Mathematical Physics.

Kellie Evans

My research interests are secondary teacher preparation, cellular automata and experimental mathematics. I am interested in using interactive and visual approaches to teaching, learning, and studying mathematics at all levels. My goals are to assist undergraduates and prospective and current teachers in leveraging widely available (free) dynamic software to make learning, teaching, and doing math at all levels accessible and equitable so more people can benefit from the certainty of math in our uncertain world.

Silvia Fernandez

My research work is on Discrete Geometry, Combinatorics, and Graph Theory. In the last few years, I have been particularly interested in optimization problems for finite sets of points in the plane, including for example, the minimum crossing number, the minimum number of directions, and the maximum number of copies of a pattern. I also work with generalizations of this type of problems to topological graphs.

Katherine Stevenson

My research interest is in arithmetic geometry and mathematics education. In algebraic geometry, I study inverse Galois problems in the context of function fields of curves defined over fields of positive characteristic. That subject uses techniques from commutative algebra, number theory, group theory, representation theory, and topology. I am also very active in curricular innovations at CSUN and beyond with particular focus on transition points like high school to university or undergraduate to graduate.
