Brian Sutton

Assistant Professor
Department of Mathematics
Randolph-Macon College, Ashland, Virginia

Brian Sutton grew up in Roanoke, Virginia, and completed his university work at Virginia Tech. He earned his Ph. D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2005 and joined the Randolph-Macon College faculty the same year. His primary research areas are numerical linear algebra and random matrix theory. He was awarded First Place in the Fourteenth Leslie Fox Prize competition and has received NSF grant DMS-0914559 for work on the CS decomposition. The stochastic operator approach to random matrix theory, the subject of his Ph. D. work, has opened a new avenue to the study of random eigenvalues, much as Schroedinger's introduction of quantum mechanics reformulated and expanded the earlier matrix mechanics approach. In the classroom, he has taught courses on numerical analysis, differential equations, probability, and statistics, as well as an interdisciplinary course on epidemiology.
