Biography

David S. Gilliam came to Texas Tech University in 1977 and has been a Professor of Mathematics since 1990. During this period he has held visiting positions at Arizona State University, Colorado School of Mines, University of Texas at Dallas, and Washington University in St. Louis. He was an affiliate professor of Systems Science and Mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis from 1989-2006. His research interests have been quite diverse. His dissertation was in an area of abstract functional analysis but he soon turned to problems in the theory of partial differential equations of mathematical physics. In 1986 he began working in distributed parameter systems and the solution of ill-posed inverse problems. His current main research interests are in the control of distributed parameter systems governed by partial differential equations.
