RESEARCH FROM THE MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES PROGRAM

$Dr Lim$

Chris Lim
An alumni of the MS in Mathematical Sciences program at Rutgers-Camden, Chris has been affiliated with the campus and its surrounding community for many years. In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Chris is often involved with programs centered on student development and engagement, such as the Putnam competition and admissions-related activities. He is the faculty advisor for the Math Club.

Sara Leshen
Dr. Leshen’s mathematical research is in harmonic analysis. She recently published “An endpoint Balian-Low theorem for Schauder bases,” with Alexander Powell in the Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications. She is a MAA Project NExT Fellow and is passionate about making undergraduate mathematics accessible and engaging for all students.

$Dr Jacobowitz$

Howard Jacobowitz
Professor Howard Jacobowitz does research in Several Complex Variables with a focus on the geometry and analysis of CR structures. The simplest of these structures exist as three-dimensional surfaces in four-dimensional space. His monograph on these surfaces is now a standard reference in the field. A related interest is an open problem (the Trautman Conjecture) suggested by constructions in general relativity. Until the current health emergency, Professor Jacobowitz frequently lectured abroad most often in Brazil, China, and Italy. He organized and was the first director of the Mathematical Sciences Graduate Program.
