Biography

Professor Stuart obtained bachelors degrees in mathematics and physics from Pomona College. Subsequently, he earned a MS and PhD in mathematics from the real UW -- the University of Wisconsin at Madison. His research interests lie at the intersection of graph theory, matrix theory and combinatorics. In addition, he has done work in optimization, statistics and finance. Prior to arriving at PLU in 2001, he spent 14 years at the University of Southern Mississippi, where he was a tenured full professor. In his not-so-copious spare time, he sings chamber music, cooks Mediterranean food, hikes, and herds cats.
