In Fall 2008 we welcomed our two new faculty members Plamen Koev and Jared Maruskin into the department. Professor Koev completed his Ph.D. at U.C. Berkeley in 2002 in Numerical Linear Algebra; his dissertation was entitled Accurate and Efficient Computations with Structured Matrices. After graduation, Professor Koev spent 5 years at M.I.T. as a postdoctoral research assistant and one year at North Carolina State as an assistant professor. Professor Maruskin completed his Ph.D. in 2008 from the University of Michigan in geometric mechanics and astrodynamics; his dissertation was entitled On the dynamical propagation of subvolumes and on the geometry and variational principles of nonholonomic systems.
In 2008 Professors Bergthold and Simic were promoted to the rank of associate professor, and Professors Bergthold and Rivera were awarded tenure.
