Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShawn Walker is a mathematics professor at Louisiana State University with over a decade of experience developing numerical methods for PDEs, free-boundary problems, and shape optimization. His research blends rigorous mathematical modeling with practical finite element and mesh-generation techniques applied to fluids, geometric evolution and liquid crystals. He progressed from postdoctoral work at NYU to a faculty trajectory at LSU, advancing from assistant to full professor while maintaining active tutorial and invited roles such as an IMA speaker. Trained as an electrical engineer (BS) and engineer/mathematics researcher (MS, PhD), he brings a rare cross-disciplinary perspective that links hardware/control systems intuition with advanced PDE computation. Known for translating challenging continuum problems into robust computational algorithms, he cultivates both theoretical insight and implementable numerical tools. Based in Baton Rouge, he balances deep academic scholarship with pragmatic, application-oriented collaboration across applied mathematics and engineering.
