Nancy聽Rodriguez聽was recently hired as an Assistant Professor in the Applied Mathematics department- this semester is her first semester here. Rodriguez聽has an impressive聽educational聽background; she attended graduate school at UCLA, did postdoctoral work at Standford, and was previously an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at UNC Chapel Hill. Presently, Rodriguez聽is interested in researching the use of 鈥淧DE models to untangle the factors leading to various phenomena in ecology and sociology.鈥澛燫odriguez聽enjoys how the partial differential equations that arise from modeling such phenomena not only offer information about the systems being modeled, but also involve 鈥渂eautiful theory.鈥澛�
She is currently teaching a Graduate Applied Analysis course and enjoys how motivated her students are.听Rodriguez聽feels it鈥檚 important for聽all students to attend 鈥渙ffice hours, ask questions, [and] learn some computational skills and some analysis regardless of鈥� major or feild of interest.听In addition to teaching, Rodriguez聽hopes to 鈥渂uild a research group which encompasses many interests including聽mathematical modeling, numerical analysis of solutions, theoretical analysis of solutions, and model verification with data incorporation.鈥澛燬he also hopes to 鈥渄evelop a network for such students聽in order to聽help foster their success.鈥澛�
She was drawn to 欧美口爆视频 Boulder because聽our聽Applied Mathematics聽department聽鈥渋s a great department in the best location to do outdoor activity.鈥� Rodriguez聽enjoys聽many聽outdoor activities including biking, running, hiking, skiing, tennis, etc.听聽
