Bozenna Pasik-Duncan

Bozenna Pasik-Duncan is a Polish-American mathematician who works as a professor of mathematics at the University of Kansas.

Research

Pasik-Duncan's research concerns stochastic control and its applications in communications, economics, and health science. She is also interested in mathematics education, particularly for women in STEM fields.[1][2]

Education and career

Pasik-Duncan earned a master's degree in mathematics from the University of Warsaw in 1970.[1] She completed a Ph.D. at the Warsaw School of Economics in 1978, and earned a habilitation there in 1986.[1][3]

She moved to the University of Kansas mathematics department in 1984,[1] joining there her husband Tyrone Duncan (also a University of Kansas mathematician).[2]

Recognition

She was a recipient of the IEEE's Third Millennium Medal in 2000, and became a Fellow of the IEEE in 2001.[1][4] She was the 2004 AWM/MAA Falconer Lecturer,[5] and the 2004 winner of the Louise Hay Award for Contributions to Mathematics Education of the Association for Women in Mathematics.[4] She was named a Fellow of the International Federation of Automatic Control in 2014.[6]

gollark: There is lots of wiki software already, so what new things do you want in yours?
gollark: Specifically, red links.
gollark: And logos is wrong about the simplicity of implementing it because things like MediaWiki have complex page rendering which depends on other pages.
gollark: Anyway, Markdown rendering is quick enough that it just rerenders pages every time because caching would be a bit annoying.
gollark: SQLite apparently is faster than filesystem IO for small blobs of data like wiki pages.
