Dear All! My name is Jens Lorenz, Prof. of Applied Math. I got my Ph.D. in Muenster, Germany, and came to the US in 1983. After 7 years at Caltech, I joined UNM in 1990. I work on problems in applied analysis, mostly PDEs applied to physics. I am now the oldest non-retired faculty member in our department, but just learned this one: I'm not old, I'm chronologically gifted.

Hi Everybody, thanks to all for sending all of us your bio's! I am Monika Nitsche. I've been a faculty member in Applied Mathematics at the Math & Stats department at UNM since 1999. I teach mostly applied math courses from calculus on up. My research is in computational fluid dynamics, with emphasis on using and finding numerical methods to better understand vortex flows. Outside of teaching and vortices and meeting other mathematicians, I love to swim (not surprisingly!), hike, cook, play volleyball with Cristina!, play pingpong (not lame!) and spend time with my family. In the picture I am the one on the right, together with a whole bunch of other cool mathematicians at our department :) Am very much looking forward to meet you all!

Dear all, My name is Cristina Pereyra and I will be your teacher the first week of your Summer Camp. I am a professor at UNM since 1996 (oh my gosh almost 20 years,aaahh!), and together with Professors Nitsche, Lorenz and Nakamaye we have been running these camps since 2008. Prior to New Mexico I received my BS (licenciatura) from the Universidad Central de Venezuela, and came to the US to do my PhD at Yale University graduated in 1993 (ahhh more than 20 years ago) and was for 3 years at Princeton University before coming to the Land of Enchantment (better check your license plate motos!). I work in an area called Harmonic Analysis (which includes Fourier and wavelet analysis the topics of our minicourse), I hope that after enduring 5 days 6 hours a day of work you will get some idea of what this is all about (some of you may already have an idea, good for you!). I have two boys (10 and 14) that keep me quite busy. I run whenever I have a chance, I like to play volleyball (hopefully we can organize some games either indoors or in the sand courts near the dorms), love the mountains and the desert (there are beautiful places to explore in New Mexico). The picture shows me with 4 of my academic children, starting from the left Oleksandra Beznosova who was a TA for MCTP back in 2008, Daewon Chung, Jean Moraes (TA in 2010), David Weirich (current student you may meet him, he was a participant in 2009 Summer camp right before joining UNM as a graduate student, he was a TA in 2010), and last but not least myself! We are all at Winnings my hiding spot, a coffee shop near campus, I love their soy chai!! We can go some day for lunch!
