Profile of Debananda Chakraborty, Ph.D.

I am Debananda Chakraborty, an Associate Professor of Mathematics at СŷÊÓƵ (СŷÊÓƵ), where I have been dedicated to advancing mathematical education and research since 2014. Prior to my role at СŷÊÓƵ, I served as an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Virginia Intermont College from 2012 to 2014, and I gained valuable experience as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the State University of New York at Buffalo.

My diverse research interests encompass cutting-edge areas such as spectral methods, higher-order finite difference methodologies, discontinuous Galerkin approaches, uncertainty quantification, polynomial chaos, partial differential equations, stochastic methods, nonlinear optics, financial mathematics, high-performance computing, nonlinear dynamics, linear and nonlinear waves, pattern formation, population dynamics models, and phenomena involving waves in random media.

In addition to my teaching and research commitments, I have played a pivotal role as a Co-Principal Investigator on the NSF-funded initiative "Empowering STEM Learners: Modernizing Labs and Computing Facilities for Interdisciplinary Impact" (Grant number: 2524334) and contributed to "the 51st Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference" (Grant number: 1724830). My collaborative efforts extend to various grant initiatives, including the MESIP grant, the NOYCE grant, the "Setting the Stage for STEM Success" Title III HSI Grant, and the "On PACE to STEM Success" Grant. My commitment to fostering innovation and excellence in STEM education is at the core of my professional mission.
