Sergiy Borodachov, Ph.D.

Biography

Dr. Sergiy Borodachov, a native of Ukraine, received his Ph.D. degree in Mathematics from Vanderbilt University in 2006 and his Master’s degree in Pure Mathematics from Dnepropetrovsk National University (Ukraine) in 1997. He joined Towson University in the Fall of 2008 after holding a post-doctoral position at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He conducts his research in optimal algorithms of recovery of functions and approximate integration, discrete minimum energy problems, fractal analysis, and quantization problems. He is the author or a co-author of 31 research publications and 80 presentations at research conferences, seminars, and colloquia. Dr. Borodachov is currently finishing the book “Minimal Energy Problems on Rectifiable Sets” jointly with Drs. E. Saff and D. Harding (both from Vanderbilt University), which was accepted for publication by Springer^©.
