Graduate Research Assistantship is available through my research grant for a qualified graduate student who is  self-motivated to be successful, a hard worker and eager learner, and has an applied mathematics, computational mathematics, engineering, or equivalent background with some programming experience. Preference will be given to students with research experience. Please contact me if you are interested.

Academic Background

    Don Liu received his Ph.D. (2004) and M.S. (2000) in applied mathematics from the Division of Applied Mathematics, Brown University, and his Ph.D. (1998) in thermal fluid engineering from Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was appointed as a postdoctoral research associate in the University of Maryland Baltimore County and a research fellow at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in May 2004. He joined Louisiana Tech University in 2006 as a tenure-track assistant professor.
