Neumann, Michael M.

Michael M. Neumann received his Doctor of Science degree in 1974 and the Habilitation in Mathematics in 1979, both from the University of Saarbrucken, Germany. Before joining Mississippi State University in 1989, he was a Heisenberg Fellow of the German Science Foundation in Saarbrucken and Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Essen, Germany. Dr. Neumann hold visiting professorships at the University of Osnabruck, Germany, the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, the University of Palermo, Italy, the University of California at Los Angeles, and the California Institute of Technology. He gave more than 120 invited conference and colloquium talks in fourteen countries, including a one-hour address to the Danish Mathematical Society at the Annual Meeting in 1993.

Michael M. Neumann was named Outstanding Honors Faculty Member at Mississippi State University in 1992, and received the MSU Alumni Association Lower Level Teaching Award in 1999. His main research interests include operator theory, functional analysis, and convex analysis with applications to mathematical economics. Dr. Neumann has published more than seventy refereed articles in these areas. In 1997, he organized a Special Session on "Banach Algebras" at the Annual Meeting of the American Mathematical Society in San Diego, while, in 1999, he served on the International Scientific Committee for the organization of the International Congress on "Operator Theory and Banach Algebras" in Rabat, Morocco.
