PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION 

I believe that all people should have the opportunity to attain the highest level of education that 

they desire and of which they are capable. Every person who is admitted to a university should 

be capable of college level mathematics. It is my duty, as a mathematics faculty member to 

present the level of mathematics necessary for the course I am teaching in a way that is 

accessible to the students and appropriate for the course. It is the students' duty to work outside

class to comprehend and master the topics discussed in the course. Undergraduate mathematics 

is in two levels: computational and theoretic. Both of these levels are best learned by doing 

exercises. Hence, I make myself available to the students to assist them in their mastery outside 

class times.

each since 1998. At the 1998 and 1999 meetings, I was a Texas NExT 

Fellow. At the 2003 meeting, a student presented a paper that I supervised. 

Eighth Annual International Conference on Game Theory, SUNY- Stony Brook, Stony Brook, 

New York, July, 1998. 

Presented "A generalization of the potential function of the Shapley value for 

games in partition function form" 

Abstract: The potential function of the Shapley value for games in characteristic function form 

was defined by Hart and Mas-Colell (1988) and can be used as a method for 

computing the Shapley value for those games. Since games in partition function 

form were first introduced by Thrall and Lucas (1963), several generalizations of 

the Shapley value have been introduced various authors. One such generalization 

is an average value introduced by Potter(1997). This unique Shapley-type value 

admits a generalization of the Hart/Mas-Colell potential function. The purpose of 

this paper is to define this potential function.

Sixteenth Triennial International Symposium on Mathematical Programming, EPFL, 

Lausanne, Switzerland, August, 1997. 

Presented "A new value for games in partition function form" 

Abstract: Games in partition function form were introduced by Thrall and Lucas 

(1963). Values for such games were introduced by Myerson (1979), Bolger 

(1989) and Feldman (1994); all of them are in some way extensions of the 

Shapley value for cooperative transferrable utility games in characteristic form. 

This paper introduces a new Shapley-type value for partition function games. A 

formula for the new value is obtained and its uniqueness is proven. Also, the 

regular concept of the dummy (or null) player for games in partition function 

form was modified and renamed as dummy in the mean to fit into the new 

framework.

PROFESSIONAL AND ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE 

August 2002 

to present 

October 2000 

to May 2002 

August 1996 

to August 2000 

Assistant Professor of Physics, Department of Chemistry and 

Physics, Hardin-Simmons University, Abilene, Texas. 

Teach undergraduate physics courses and corresponding laboratories, 

including algebra- and calculus-based introductory physics, integrated science 

(chemistry, physics and astronomy) for pre-service K-4 teachers, and acoustics. 

Responsible for advising physics majors and developing new curricula to meet 

physics requirements of other schools and departments. 

Developed “Introduction to Acoustics;” a course to provide music and 

speech/language pathology majors with a core science class directly related to 

their field; it is now a required course for speech/language pathology. 

Post-Doctoral Fellow, Scanning-Tunneling Microscopy Laboratory, 

University of North Texas, Denton, Texas. 

Conducted research into oriented carbon nanotube (CNT) growth using 

thermal chemical vapor deposition and their resulting properties using scanning 

electron and scanning tunneling microscopy. The growth procedure requires 

coating a substrate with a thin (~150 nm) metallic film, which serves as a 

catalyst for the CNT growth. The sample is pre-treated with either hydrogen or 

ammonia gas as the temperature is increased to approximately 700º C. A 

hydrocarbon, e.g., acetylene, is introduced and dehydrogenated, providing the 

required agents for carbon nanotube growth. 

Research Assistant, University of North Texas, Denton, 

Texas. 

Studied the kinetics of planar plasma sheaths, extending the theory to include 

current-carrying sheaths. Beginning with a qualitative electric potential profile 

within the sheath (the transition region between a plasma and a plasma-facing 

solid), the distribution functions for plasma ions, plasma electrons and 

secondary electrons are determined by kinematic requirements. Applying 

boundary conditions to the total charge density and flux, e.g., quasi-neutrality of

Summer 1997 

and Summer 

1998 

June 1994 

to August 1996 


the presheath, a system of nonlinear equations is obtained that describes the 

electric potential within the sheath. The kinetic properties of the constituent 

particles are thus determined. 

Developed an approach to approximate the space-charge limited current of 

relativistic electron beams in finite-length coaxial drift tubes. Defined as the 

maximum steady-state current that can be transmitted through a certain 

volume, the limiting current is difficult to determine for a general geometry due 

to the inherent non-linearity of Poisson’s equation. Applying Green’s second 

theorem to the space-charge limited Poisson equation over the beam’s volume, 

a Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue equation can be introduced such that its boundary 

conditions ensure Green’s identity. The limiting current is then approximated in 

terms of the eigenvalue. 

Along with the above research, a two-dimensional particle in cell (PIC) code 

was developed to provide numerical comparison with the sheath and limiting 

current theories. It was also used to investigate the ability of virtual cathodes to 

simulate nested-well plasma traps. Other research interests included quantum 

phase space propagators, transmission properties of one-dimensional quantum 

structures and the electromagnetic characteristics of helical conductors. 

Researcher/Programmer, Air Force Research Laboratory, 

Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico. 

Modified and tested the Air Force’s 2-½ dimensional radiative magnetohydrodynamic 

code, MACH2, and used it to model several devices of interest to 

the scientific community: explosively formed fuses and magnetized target 

fusion. 

An explosively formed fuse is a fast opening switch capable of transferring 

mega-joules of electrical energy within a few microseconds. The switch was 

simulated by allowing an electrical current to flow through a thin foil, 

surrounding a high-explosive. Detonating the explosive causes the foil to 

lengthen and thin, thereby increasing its resistance. Using a preliminary current 

of 1 kilo-ampere, details necessary for thoroughly modeling the device were 

determined. 

Magnetized target fusion is an approach to fusion ignition that is intermediate 

to inertially-confined and magnetically-confined fusion schemes. Although a 

magnetic field is used to inhibit thermal conduction from the plasma to the 

confining liner, plasma-wall mixing still poses a problem. When this mixing 

occurs, increased impurities in the plasma reduce the plasma temperature and 

prevent the plasma from reaching ignition conditions. This mixing, due to the 

Rayleigh-Taylor instability, was investigated by considering an imploding 

cylindrical liner. 

Teaching Assistant, University of North Texas, Denton, 

Texas. 

Taught the closed lab for calculus-based physics. Instructed students in the 

open physics lab for all levels of introductory physics courses. Facilitated the 

senior-level experimental physics lab and instructed the musical acoustics lab 

for music majors.
