Basant Karna, Ph.D., Baylor University (Ordinary Differential Equations).
Research Summary: The research interests of Dr. Karna are Boundary Value Problems for Ordinary Differential Equations and Dynamical Equations. Currently, he is involved in finding positive solution(s) for multipoint boundary value problems using different fixed point theorems, comparing smallest eigenvalues for mulitipoint boundary value problems, and characterizing the first extremal point. He is also working on these problems on Time Scale(s) (A Time Scale is a closed subset of the reals).

Carl Mummert, Ph.D., Pennsylvania State University (Mathematical Logic)
Research Summary: Dr. Mummert's research is in mathematical logic, particularly in reverse mathematics, an area of logic seeks to determine which axioms are necessary to prove well-known theorems of mathematics. His reverse mathematics research has focused on principles from topology, choice principles, and countable combinatorics. He has also published papers in pure topology, and has mentored student research in logic, real analysis, and latin squares.
