of Mississippi, receiving his Ph.D. in Engineering Science
in 1984. His professional interests include hydrologic modeling,
flood hazards, erosion and sediment transport, storm water
management, and contaminant transport.
Imtiaz
Haque has been named permanent chair of the department
of mechanical engineering, after having served one year
in an interim capacity. Haque received his B.SC., in Mechanical
Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology
(Pakistan), in 1972. He then earned his M.S. in Mechanical
Engineering from Clemson in 1977, and completed his Ph.D.
in Engineering Mechanics here in1982. His research interests
include: dynamics and vibrations of mechanical systems;
modeling and simulation of vehicle dynamics; multi-body
systems, mechanisms and machines.
Robert
Taylor was appointed chair of mathematical sciences
effective January 1, 2003. Taylor earned his B.S., in Statistics
and Mathematics at the University of Tennessee in 1966.
He then entered graduate school at Florida State, and earned
his M.S. and Ph.D.in Statistics. His professional interests
include laws of large numbers, estimation of probability
density functions, stochastic convergence and validity
of bootstrap estimators.
Grants editor now on board
Jenny
Bourne has joined the Dean’s staff as an editor
whose primary responsibility is to assist faculty with
their research proposals. Her activities, including writing,
editing, and research, increase the likelihood of funding
by helping faculty present proposals that specifically
address grantors' requirements. Bourne holds an M.A. in
Professional Communication from Clemson and an M.S. in
Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Oklahoma.
