Bojan Popov is a researcher in Core 1 at the Institute and associate professor in the Department of Mathematics at Texas A&M. Popov earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in 1992 from The University of Sofia in Bulgaria, and his doctoral degree in 1999 at the University of South Carolina. He was recognized (jointly with Guergana Petrova) as the Outstanding Graduate Student in the Department of Mathematics by the University of South Carolina in 1999. Popov served as assistant professor of mathematics at Vanderbilt University from 1999-2001, before his appointment at Texas A&M. Popov’s most recent publications include J.-L. Guermond and B. Popov, “L1-minimization methods for Hamilton-Jacobi equations: the one-dimensional case,” Numerische Mathematics, 109 (2008), pp. 269-284, and I. Christov and B. Popov, “New nonoscillatory central schemes on unstructured triangulations for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws,” Journal of Computational Physics, 227 (2008), pp. 5736-5757. Popov is currently a referee for Mathematics of Computation, Advances in Computational Mathematics, SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Journal of Approximation Theory, Numerische Mathematik, Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, Applied Composite Materials, and SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis. Popov has participated in numerous international scientific collaborations in a number of nations outside the U.S. His research has won numerous grants with federal agencies, including the National Science Foundation, the Army Research Office and the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications. Popov served as co-organizer of the “Approximation and Learning in High Dimensions” workshop at Texas A&M in 2007, and he coordinated a conference entitled “Nonlinear Approximation Techniques Using L1” in May 2008.
