- Short biography:
Dr. Luan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at Texas Tech. He received his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Innsbruck, Austria in 2014. Prior to joining Texas Tech, he held faculty positions at Mississippi State University and visiting appointments at University of California, Merced and Southern Methodist University. His research lies in numerical analysis and scientific computing, with a focus on the development of high-order time integration methods for stiff and highly oscillatory systems such as exponential integrators, multirate methods, and two-derivative schemes, with applications in numerical weather prediction, visual computing, and computational biology.
He is the recipient of several NSF grant awards. He serves as an Associate Editor for Advances in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics and has actively contributed as a reviewer and panelist for journals and the NSF, as well as to the organization of scientific conferences, workshops, and summer schools.
