“Professor Eric Kostelich fits the description of a Professor of the Year perfectly — a dynamic leader in education and research with the ultimate goal of improving the lives of his students. His interests lie in interdisciplinary mathematics, specifically in scientific computing and modeling. At the research level, this is reflected in his successful study of weather forecasting — leading to models and computational approaches studied by weather services worldwide.
However, Professor Kostelich’s love and major attention is improving the computational skills of students, undergraduate students in particular. He aims to make computation more employable, but also to give his students the tools to orient themselves in an increasingly technically sophisticated world.”
