Autorentext
Allen Holder received his B.S. from the University of Southern Mississippi and his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado at Denver. He taught at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas for nine years before joining Rose-Hulman. He is interested in mathematical programming and its applications in medicine, biology, and healthcare. Professor Holder's work on the optimal design of radiotherapy treatments won the 2000 Pierskalla Award, and he received Rose-Hulman's Outstanding Scholar Award in 2015. He has held several editorial positions and has published with numerous undergraduates. He is a longtime supporter of, and participant in, INFORMS.
**Joseph Eichholz** received his B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science from Western Illinois University and his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics and Computational Sciences from the University of Iowa. He is interested in numerical analysis, particularly with numerical solutions of partial differential equations and integral equations, as well as high performance computing. He has a special interest in applications associated with novel medical imaging techniques and contact mechanics.
