Spring 2013 CoursesMath 121 - Engineering Calculus I NewsMaking 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 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) 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 |

| BOZENNA PASIK-DUNCAN received her Master's degree in Mathematics from University of Warsaw in 1970, and her Ph.D. and D.Sc. (Habilitation) degrees in Mathematics from the Warsaw School of Economics in 1978 and 1986 respectively. She is a Professor of Mathematics, a Courtesy Professor of EECS, and an ITTC Investigator at the University of Kansas (KU). Her research interests are primarily in stochastic systems and stochastic adaptive control, system identification and estimation, and control education as a field that spans science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. Dr. Pasik-Duncan has been actively involved with the IEEE CSS. She serves as Chair of the IEEE CSS Technical Committee on Control Education and IEEE CSS Liaison to IEEE WIE. She was an Associate Editor and Associate Editor at Large of the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Chair of the Standing Committees on Assistance of Engineers at Risk and International Affairs, and Founder and First Chair of the WiC Group. She served as CSS Vice-President of Member Activities. Dr. Pasik-Duncan is also associated with the IFAC as Chair of the IFAC Technical Committee on Control Education and currently serves on the IFAC Technical Board and IFAC Awards Committee. She was formerly involved with SIAM and the SIAM Activity Group on Control and Systems Theory in a number of capacities. Dr. Pasik-Duncan is an IEEE Fellow, Distinguished Member of the CSS, and a recipient of the IEEE Third Millennium Medal. She has received many awards, including the Kemper Award, H.O.P.E Award, L. Hay Award, Steeples Service to Kansas Award and is a member of the KU Women's Hall of Fame. She served on the Friends of the Lied Center Board and currently serves on the SMA Academic Program Advisory Board. She is Founder and Faculty Advisor to the AWM Student Chapter at KU, Founder and Coordinator of the MAM / Outreach Program, and faculty advisor for the NSF GK-12 Program at KU. |
