  • Ph.D., Flinders University, Mathematics.

I was born in Sydney, Australia, and for my Ph.D. studied differential equations with my advisor and mentor Douglas Sears. My advisor in turn studied at Oxford University in England under the great analyst E.C. Titchmarsh, who was known for his work in differential equations and on the Riemann zeta function in number theory. I have taught at Universities in South Africa, the UK, and Canada, in addition to my current position at UAB.
