ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

 Mark Iwen received his PhD in applied and interdisciplinary mathematics from the University of Michigan -- Ann Arbor in 2008, after which he completed two postdocs at the University of Minnesota and Duke University.  He then joined Michigan State University in 2013 where he is currently an associate professor with a dual appointment in the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Computational Mathematics, Science and Engineering (CMSE).  His research interests include computational harmonic analysis, mathematical data science, signal processing, and algorithms for the analysis of large and high dimensional data sets.  To date he has graduated 7 PhD students, and authored over 70 journal and conference articles which have been published in interdisciplinary venues ranging from journals such as Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis, Foundations of Computational Mathematics, and Discrete and Computational Geometry, to computer science and engineering conferences such as the ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA) and the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP).
