PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION<br />
I believe that all people should have the opportunity to attain the highest level of education that<br />
they desire and of which they are capable. Every person who is admitted to a university should<br />
be capable of college level mathematics. It is my duty, as a mathematics faculty member to<br />
present the level of mathematics necessary for the course I am teaching in a way that is<br />
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<br />
is in two levels: computational and theoretic. Both of these levels are best learned by doing<br />
exercises. Hence, I make myself available to the students to assist them in their mastery outside<br />
class times.<br />

Eighth Annual International Conference on Game Theory, SUNY- Stony Brook, Stony Brook,<br />
New York, July, 1998.<br />
Presented "A generalization of the potential function of the Shapley value for<br />
games in partition function form"<br />
Abstract: The potential function of the Shapley value for games in characteristic function form<br />
was defined by Hart and Mas-Colell (1988) and can be used as a method for<br />
computing the Shapley value for those games. Since games in partition function<br />
form were first introduced by Thrall and Lucas (1963), several generalizations of<br />
the Shapley value have been introduced various authors. One such generalization<br />
is an average value introduced by Potter(1997). This unique Shapley-type value<br />
admits a generalization of the Hart/Mas-Colell potential function. The purpose of<br />
this paper is to define this potential function.
Sixteenth Triennial International Symposium on Mathematical Programming, EPFL,<br />
Lausanne, Switzerland, August, 1997.<br />
Presented "A new value for games in partition function form"<br />
Abstract: Games in partition function form were introduced by Thrall and Lucas<br />
(1963). Values for such games were introduced by Myerson (1979), Bolger<br />
(1989) and Feldman (1994); all of them are in some way extensions of the<br />
Shapley value for cooperative transferrable utility games in characteristic form.<br />
This paper introduces a new Shapley-type value for partition function games. A<br />
formula for the new value is obtained and its uniqueness is proven. Also, the<br />
regular concept of the dummy (or null) player for games in partition function<br />
form was modified and renamed as dummy in the mean to fit into the new<br />
framework.<br />

Assistant Professor of Physics, Department of Chemistry and<br />
Physics, <strong>Hardin</strong>-<strong>Simmons</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Abilene, Texas.<br />
Teach undergraduate physics courses and corresponding laboratories,<br />
including algebra- and calculus-based introductory physics, integrated science<br />
(chemistry, physics and astronomy) for pre-service K-4 teachers, and acoustics.<br />
Responsible for advising physics majors and developing new curricula to meet<br />
physics requirements of other schools and departments.<br />
Developed “Introduction to Acoustics;” a course to provide music and<br />
speech/language pathology majors with a core science class directly related to<br />
their field; it is now a required course for speech/language pathology.<br />
Post-Doctoral Fellow, Scanning-Tunneling Microscopy Laboratory,<br />
<strong>University</strong> of North Texas, Denton, Texas.<br />
Conducted research into oriented carbon nanotube (CNT) growth using<br />
thermal chemical vapor deposition and their resulting properties using scanning<br />
electron and scanning tunneling microscopy. The growth procedure requires<br />
coating a substrate with a thin (~150 nm) metallic film, which serves as a<br />
catalyst for the CNT growth. The sample is pre-treated with either hydrogen or<br />
ammonia gas as the temperature is increased to approximately 700º C. A<br />
hydrocarbon, e.g., acetylene, is introduced and dehydrogenated, providing the<br />
required agents for carbon nanotube growth.<br />
Research Assistant, <strong>University</strong> of North Texas, Denton,<br />
Texas.<br />
Studied the kinetics of planar plasma sheaths, extending the theory to include<br />
current-carrying sheaths. Beginning with a qualitative electric potential profile<br />
within the sheath (the transition region between a plasma and a plasma-facing<br />
solid), the distribution functions for plasma ions, plasma electrons and<br />
secondary electrons are determined by kinematic requirements. Applying<br />
boundary conditions to the total charge density and flux, e.g., quasi-neutrality of
Summer 1997<br />
and Summer<br />
1998<br />
June 1994<br />
to August 1996<br />
KENNETH F. STEPHENS II, PHD<br />
the presheath, a system of nonlinear equations is obtained that describes the<br />
electric potential within the sheath. The kinetic properties of the constituent<br />
particles are thus determined.<br />
Developed an approach to approximate the space-charge limited current of<br />
relativistic electron beams in finite-length coaxial drift tubes. Defined as the<br />
maximum steady-state current that can be transmitted through a certain<br />
volume, the limiting current is difficult to determine for a general geometry due<br />
to the inherent non-linearity of Poisson’s equation. Applying Green’s second<br />
theorem to the space-charge limited Poisson equation over the beam’s volume,<br />
a Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue equation can be introduced such that its boundary<br />
conditions ensure Green’s identity. The limiting current is then approximated in<br />
terms of the eigenvalue.<br />
Along with the above research, a two-dimensional particle in cell (PIC) code<br />
was developed to provide numerical comparison with the sheath and limiting<br />
current theories. It was also used to investigate the ability of virtual cathodes to<br />
simulate nested-well plasma traps. Other research interests included quantum<br />
phase space propagators, transmission properties of one-dimensional quantum<br />
structures and the electromagnetic characteristics of helical conductors.<br />
Researcher/Programmer, Air Force Research Laboratory,<br />
Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico.<br />
Modified and tested the Air Force’s 2-½ dimensional radiative magnetohydrodynamic<br />
code, MACH2, and used it to model several devices of interest to<br />
the scientific community: explosively formed fuses and magnetized target<br />
fusion.<br />
An explosively formed fuse is a fast opening switch capable of transferring<br />
mega-joules of electrical energy within a few microseconds. The switch was<br />
simulated by allowing an electrical current to flow through a thin foil,<br />
surrounding a high-explosive. Detonating the explosive causes the foil to<br />
lengthen and thin, thereby increasing its resistance. Using a preliminary current<br />
of 1 kilo-ampere, details necessary for thoroughly modeling the device were<br />
determined.<br />
Magnetized target fusion is an approach to fusion ignition that is intermediate<br />
to inertially-confined and magnetically-confined fusion schemes. Although a<br />
magnetic field is used to inhibit thermal conduction from the plasma to the<br />
confining liner, plasma-wall mixing still poses a problem. When this mixing<br />
occurs, increased impurities in the plasma reduce the plasma temperature and<br />
prevent the plasma from reaching ignition conditions. This mixing, due to the<br />
Rayleigh-Taylor instability, was investigated by considering an imploding<br />
cylindrical liner.<br />
