Justin Wan, an Associate Professor at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, has been appointed the next Director of the Centre for Computational Mathematics in Industry and Commerce (CCMIC).
This innovative Centre aims to advance the fundamental knowledge and the progressive application of computational mathematics. Justin’s three-year appointment to the Centre will begin this July. He was “surprised and honoured” to hear the news and also “thankful that the Faculty has put such a faith and trust in [him] to take up the position.”
“I feel happy and excited to contribute to the computational mathematics community in this new role. Computational mathematics is my field of research. It’s a fascinating field that reaches out to all kinds of applications and yet its importance and existence are often overlooked,” says Justin.
“My plans for the Centre are to strengthen the computational mathematics efforts in the faculty and draw interest at the undergraduate, graduate, and research levels. I look forward to this new position and hope that it will be a rewarding experience for myself and the community.”
We wish Justin a successful term as director of the CCMIC.
Congratulations!
