William Thomas Magee

BS Mathematics 1993

I am currently working for Aon Consulting specializing in Employee Benefits.

Douglas Archer Hall

BS Math 1985, MS Engineering Mechanics 1987

I am currently a Principal Engineer at Honeywell Engines & Systems. My current job is Leader, Engineering Mechanics Technology Council. I work with this division's 225 stress and life prediction engineers, improving the methods used to design better airplane components. My time in the OSU Math department prepared me very well. Thanks.

Xiaojing Li

MS Math 95, BS Math 90, Wuhan University

I worked for a data mining company, then a network company now. Both need strong mathematics background. Wuhan University gave me a solid mathematics foundation. OSU, especially, Prof. Overman has encouraged me to think how to apply mathematics into the real world.

The current project is network system anomaly detection. Of course, it is very complicated system involving statistical modeling, pattern recognition, prediction method. Oh, Yeah, it's A Math!

Suzanne Marie Dorinski

BS Mathematics 1988, MS 1991, Michigan State University, Applied Statistics

I work at the U.S. Census Bureau as a mathematical statistician. Most of my work has dealt with how to compensate for missing data in surveys.

Daniel W. Elwell

BS 1989, Economics

After spending almost 9 years at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, I tranferred to Department of the Navy Office of the Chief Information Officer, where I have been since early 1998. I am still working part time on my Master's at the University of Maryland, concentratin on Information and Decision Sciences.

My work for the Department of the Navy (DoN) includes developing performance measurement and process improvement policies and strategies. I am also heavily involved with the DoN's knowledge management initiatives. Periodically I weigh in on information security issues, including the DoN's public key infrastructure.

Charles David (Dave) Carlson

Ph.D. 1996, BS Aero/Astro Eng 1987, BS Math, Baptist Coll; MS Math Univ Colorado Colo Spgs

Currently employed by Mitsubishi Polyester Film, LLC as a Senior Scientist responsible for research and development of new/improved polyester films. Current projects include process enhancement and new polymer evaluation for improved blast-resistant films.

Living in Columbus, NC on the side of a mountain with beautiful views and smog-free skies. Walls of glass in the back and 3 levels of decks complete the feeling of paradise. Current and former math department faculty and grad students are welcome to visit and share good home brew.
