Margaret Beck
Professor
I am a Professor and Director of Undergraduate Mathematics Instruction in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Boston University. I am the recipient of the 2019 SIAM J. D. Crawford Prize, the 2018 AMS Birman Fellowship, and a 2012 Sloan Research Fellowship. I completed my undergraduate studies at Colorado College, my PhD at Boston University, and as a postdoc I spent time at the University of Surrey, MSRI during the program on Dynamical Systems, and Brown University. More info can be found on my CV. You can also look at my MathSciNet Profile or my Google Scholar Profile.
My primary research area is partial differential equations and dynamical systems. I am particularly interested in developing theoretical tools for understanding the long-time behavior of solutions to such systems, for example by analyzing the existence, bifurcation, and stability of nonlinear waves and coherent structures. I regularly attend the BU Dynamics Seminar and the Dynamics and PDE Seminar, which is run jointly by BU, Brown, and UMass Amherst.
