We have a number of senior and junior visitors each year.  Research interests of some of them have been represented by a series of our CSASM seminars. Please consult this page if you plan to visit.

 

Before moving to North America, Prof. Roderick Melnik was the Head of the Mathematical Modelling and Engineering Mathematics Group at Syddansk University (SDU), Denmark. On the photo below you see some of the members of the group during the graduation ceremony in one of the oldest castles in Denmark,  the Sonderborg Castle. Dr Melnik continues to be associated with SDU.
