We welcome to Georgia Tech, and the School of Mathematics,
two new tenure track faculty, and three VIGRE postdocs.
Matt Baker brings to the faculty expertise in algebraic number theory,
and a lot interest in sharing that expertise with GT undergraduates and
graduate students. He comes to GT most recently from University
of Georgia at Athens. Matt is a 1999 Berkeley PhD, and had a postdoctoral
position at Harvard.
Serge Guillas has expertise in Statistics, and for the last two years, has been involved in an interdisciplinary effort to assess the long term evolution of stratospheric ozone.
The three VIGRE postdocs are Nathan Geer, from the University of Oregon,
with an interest in knot theory. Svetlana Krat and Dmitry Gerenrot both come from Penn State University. Svetlana does research in geometry, and Dmitry in non-commutative geometry.
