Dr. Stefan Heinz is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Wyoming. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the Heinrich-Hertz Institute, Berlin. His research interests are in mathematical modeling, multiscale processes, stochastic analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, computational fluid dynamics, turbulence, combustion, and multiphase flows. He has authored more than seventy refereed publications and the textbook Statistical Mechanics of Turbulent Flows (Springer, 2003). For more than ten years he has taught a variety of courses: calculus, probability, ordinary, partial, and stochastic differential equations, applied mathematics, and deterministic and stochastic mathematical modeling. His exceptional teaching was awarded in 2007 by the College of Arts and Sciences Extraordinary Merit in Teaching Award. In 2008 he was honored as Adjunct Professor of Mechanical Engineering. He has held visiting professor appointments at ETH Zurich, Delft Technical University, and the National Centerfor Atmospheric Research (NCAR) at Boulder.
