New Darrin Scholar
Dr. Jong-Shi Pang, a recent recipient of the top award in mathematics programming, the George B. Dantzig Prize, has joined the faculty at RPI. He comes to Rensselaer to fill the Margaret A. Darrin Distinguished Chair Professorship in Applied Mathematics, a position that looks to attract a scholar that will be a “steeple of excellence,” which has been vacant since 1999.
Dr. Pang’s research has primarily involved equilibrium and optimization programming. The ideas behind this programming deal with finding the best use of scarce resources—a concept that has applications in everything from science to management.
Pang has worked at John Hopkins University since 1987, serving also as a program director for the National Science Foundation for part of that time. He received his B.S. from National Taiwan University and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Stanford.
At RPI, Professor Pang hopes to continue his research and work with many students and other faculty on their projects.
