Jameson Graber, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Mathematics
Education
PHD University of Virginia, 2012 (Advisor: Irena Lasiecka)
BS Washington and Lee University, 2008
Biography
Dr. Graber joined the Baylor faculty in 2016. Prior to this he spent two years as a post-doc at ENSTA ParisTech studying optimal control theory, followed by a two-year post-doc in mean field games working with Alain Bensoussan at the University of Texas at Dallas.
Academic Interests
Dr. Graber's research is in nonlinear partial differential equations, with a particular focus on problems related to control theory and optimization. He studies a wide range of models, from acoustic wave equations with nonlinear damping to Hamilton-Jacobi equations arising in optimal control. His latest research is in mean field game theory.
