I am an Associate Professor of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Michigan Technological University in Houghton. My address, phone number, and fax number are shown below.
The best way to reach me is to send email to trolson.
Or you could check my Google calendar and stop by during office hours once the semester is under way.
Office Hours Spring 2018: Tu/Th 10:00 - 11:30 am and 1:30-3:00 pm
I am interested in mathematics applied to the behavior of inhomogeneous materials, in the form of bounds and approximations which take into account statistical descriptions of the microstructure.
Materials include polycrystals, composites, laminates, and materials containing inclusions or voids.
Physical phenomena of interest include linear behaviors (thermal and electrical conductivity, dielectricity, elasticity, piezoelectricity, etc.) and nonlinear behaviors (plasticity, elasticity, yield).
Mathematical tools include PDE's, variational principles, Fourier analysis, calculus of variations . . .
I LIKE TO PLAY RACQUETBALL. Just say when ...
I also like to tie-dye.
I am a MOM.
