Promotions Approved June 20, 2008

Birne Binegar and Jiahong Wu were promoted to the rank of full professor at the June meeting of the OSU Regents. Professor Binegar has research interests in representation theory and, in particular, in using computer algebra systems to discover and establish new results in the field. Professor Wu is interested in the solution of partial differential equations that model fluid flow, weather phenomena and other physical systems. One of the most famous equations that he studies is the Navier-Stokes equation for fluids.
