About Professor, and York Research Chair (Tier I) in Applied Mathematics of York University. He is the Director of the Laboratory of Mathematical Parallel Systems (LAMPS) and Director of Center of Diseases Modeling (CDM) at York University. His research interests include dynamical systems and Hilbert's 16th problem; bifurcation theory and applications; mathematical ecology and epidemiology; […]
About me Dr. Edward Furman is a Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at York University, where he is leading the Actuarial Science Program. He is also Founding Director of the Risk and Insurance Studies Centre (RISC), an institutional interdisciplinary Organized Research Unit that pursues a holistic approach to researching the notion of […]
About Me I am an Associate Professor, Teaching Stream, in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. I am primarily interested in mathematics education and pedagogy, with a particular interest in the transition from high school to university and mathematical skills development. I am heavily involved in the Mathematics for Education major at York University and […]
Research Specialization High-precision laser spectroscopy of atoms; Experimental tests of Quantum Electrodynamics and the Standard Model; Antimatter, especially antihydrogen and positronium; Exotic states of matter; Laser cooling and atom trapping. I conduct antimatter research with the aim of producing and trapping large numbers of antihydrogen atoms. Comparing the atomic structure of antihydrogen and hydrogen provides […]
Research Specialization Ferroelectric and ferroelastic materials; Physics education; Undergraduate laboratory pedagogy. I have used Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to study structural phase transitions in ferroelectric and ferroelastic materials. My most recent work was related to ferroelastics, which transform into a super-protonic phase. These materials may find important applications in fuel cells and various sensors. […]
