Some Cool Places Maurice has Visited
This list is updated periodically, so do check in from time
to time...
- Right now, I'm a tenure-track assistant professor at Texas A&M
University, in the mathematics department.
- Before that, I was in Hong Kong from 1998 to 2000, working as a
research assistant professor at City University of Hong Kong, in the
mathematics department. My son was born at Canossa Hospital in
Hong Kong on January 1, 1999, 20:00!
- From there, I visited Phuket (Thailand), Guangzhou (China), and
various parts of Europe.
- I have particularly found memories of Leuven, Belgium, where
I visited the Catholic University of Belgium and my son got his
first tooth (around summer of 1999).
- From about 1996 to early 1998, I was an NSF Postdoc and Applied Mathematics
Instructor at MIT in the
mathematics department,
- but around January of 1997, I visited Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro
(including a conference
at IMPA) in Brasil!
- Also, around May of 1996 I was a visiting professor at City University of Hong Kong.
- Just before that, I spent the spring semester of 1996
at MSRI in Berkeley, California.
- I completed my Ph.D. in applied
mathematics at U. C. Berkeley in May
of 1995.
- As I was finishing my degree, I visited the Institut
de Recherche Mathe'matique de Rennes during spring of 1995, thanks to a
Chateaubriand fellowship.
- I also taught during fall of 1994 in Barcelona at the
Universitat Pompeu Fabra.
- My first visit to Europe was thanks to my former advisor, Steve Smale.
Along with another one of his students (Gregorio Malajovich)
we visited the Universitat Autonoma de
Barcelona during fall of 1993.
- In December of 1991 I completed my M.S. in computer science at U. C. Berkeley.
- As an undergrad, I studied
electrical engineering
and mathematics at
UCLA.
