Description
Panayotis G. Kevrekidis received a B.S. in Physics from University of Athens, an M.S., M.Phil and Ph.D in Physics from Rutgers University. After a post-doctoral year between Princeton University and Los Alamos National Lab, he joined the department of Mathematics and Statistics of UMass, Amherst where he is currently an Associate Professor. He has published more than 200 research papers and has received a CAREER award in Applied Mathematics from the U.S. National Science Foundation, as well as very recently a Humboldt Research Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
