Paul Wang obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology
in 1971. He became a professor of computer science at Kent State
University in 1981. Currently, Paul
is also a Director of Research of the
Institute for Computational Mathematics
at Kent State University. Before
joining Kent State University in 1977, he was a computer science
faculty member at MIT.
Paul is one of the leading experts in the field of Symbolic and
Algebraic Computation (SAC). He has
received over forty research fundings from government agencies
(NSF, NASA, DOE, ARO, DARPA, and Ohio Board of Regents) and industry.
His research interests include parallelism in symbolic
mathematical computations, problem-solving environments that
combine symbolic, numeric, and
graphic techniques, automatic code generation and its
application to engineering problems, protocols
for mathematical data exchange, distributed systems for
scientific computing, and making mathematics easily accessible
on the Web/Internet.
Paul has published a number of
text books, consults with industry,
and received in 2001 the Ohio Governer's Award for University Faculty
Entrepreneurship for establishing
Webtong Inc.
a Website design, development, and management company.
He is currently leading an international group of researchers in the
IAMC Framework effort to make mathematical computations and
mathematics education easily and widely available on the Web/Internet.
