Associate Professor in
Department of Mathematics,

As an applied mathematican, Michael's research interest covers
data mining, operations research and scientific computing.
He develops theories on computer mathematical models of large-scale
problems. He has also created computational tools to help people
extract useful information from the rapidly
expanding volumes of data.
"The bringing together of theory and practice leads t the most favourable
results; not only does practice benefit, but the sciences themselves
develop under the influence of practice, which reveals new subjects
of investigation and new aspects of familiar subjects" P.L. Chebyshev
