My participation in C21 is connected very much to my teaching philosophy. I promote 5Cs: collaboration, communication, connections, creativity and curiosity. In Fall 2013, I taught a 500-student Engineering Calculus I class. One particular success was inviting the GTAs into all of the lectures, cultivating collaboration and communication. more (see pg. 5) 2014 – Introducing the IFAC FellowsBozenna Pasik-Duncan, Professor of Mathematics and Courtesy Professor of EECS of University of Kansas since 1984, received her M.S. degree from Mathematics Department of Warsaw University in 1970, and her Ph.D. and Habilitation Doctorate degrees from Mathematics Department of Warsaw School of Economics in 1978 and 1986 respectively. She was a faculty member of the Mathematics Department of Warsaw School of Economics, 1970-1984. Her research interests are primarily in stochastic adaptive control, system identification and estimation, stochastic analysis, and STEM education. more (see pg. 3) 2014 – Math professor elected program director of international organizationBozenna Pasik-Duncan, professor of mathematics and courtesy professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of Kansas, has been elected the program director of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Activity Group on Control and Systems Theory. SIAM is an international community of more than 13,000 individual members. Almost 500 academic, manufacturing, research and development, service and consulting organizations, government and military organizations worldwide are institutional members. more 2014 – Lawhorn's Lawrence: The beauty of math"Math makes everything better," said Bozenna Pasik-Duncan, a 30-year professor in KU's department of mathematics. For more than 20 years, Pasik-Duncan has led a group of math professors to Lawrence City Hall each April to have the month declared as Mathematics Awareness Month. During the month they also host a mathematics competition for junior high and high school students, and a variety of other events, each built around a theme. This year, it is the Magic and Mystery of Math. more 2013 – Professor represents women in engineering at international workshopBozenna Pasik-Duncan, professor of mathematics and courtesy professor of electrical engineering and computer science, attended the roundtable UNESCO/IGU Workshop on Women in Africa and the Arab States at the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris earlier this month as a representative of IEEE Women in Engineering. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is the world's largest technical professional association advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. more 2013 – Control Systems Magazine interviewQ. How did your education and early career lead to your initial and continuing interest in the control field? What are some of your research
interests? 2013 – Bozenna Pasik-Duncan Elected a Fellow of IFACBozenna Pasik-Duncan, professor of mathematics and courtesy professor of electrical engineering and computer science has been elected a Fellow of the International Federation of Automatic Control. The IFAC Fellow award is given to persons who have made outstanding and extraordinary contributions in the field of interest of IFAC. The certificate and pin will be awarded at the 2014 IFAC World Congress in Cape Town, South Africa. more 2012 – Making Connections: Mother-daughter duo builds on math"Making connections is my passion," says Dr. Bozenna Pasik-Duncan. To that end, it isn't hard for her—or for anyone—to see the clear connection between the professor of mathematics at the University of Kansas (KU) and her daughter, Dominique Duncan. In addition to teaching, Pasik-Duncan has dedicated her life to researching stochastic adaptive control and theories of randomness, while Dominique has long been fascinated by predictability, specifically the ability to predict seizures in epilepsy patients. more 2011 – On Recent Activities of Control Education Committee: 10 Years of AACC Outreach Efforts and Educational ActivitiesThis year marked the tenth anniversary of the Ideas and Technology Control Systems workshop for middle and high school teachers and students. These workshops are held twice a year in conjunction with the American Control Conference and the Conference on Decision and Control. The workshops were presented to over 3,000 students and teachers. more (see pg. 4) 2011 – Watershed moments shaped Professor Bozenna Pasik-Duncan's love for teaching, mathematicsThere have been several key events in Bozenna Pasik-Duncan's life, transitional moments that changed her path and led her to where she is today, to the United States and to Kansas University, where she is one of the most honored professors to ever work in the university's math department. more 2011 – Congratulations to Bozenna Pasik-Duncan on being honored with the Steeples Service to Kansas AwardBozenna Pasik-Duncan, IEEE Control Systems Society coordinator and a University of Kansas mathematics professor whose outreach efforts have affected thousands of students in Kansas is the 2011 recipient of the Steeples Service to Kansas Award. more |
