About Dr. Allen

Myron Allen joined the University of Wyoming faculty in 1983. He served as department head from 1992-1998, associate provost from 1999-2005, and provost and vice president for academic affairs from 2005-2013.

His mathematical interests include numerical analysis, mathematical modeling, and fluid mechanics in porous media­­—fields that involve continuum mechanics, partial differential equations, classical and functional analysis, and linear algebra. Applications include the computational analysis and prediction of contaminant flows in groundwater aquifers and flows of native and injected fluids in oil and gas reservoirs.

Professor Allen received the George Duke Humphrey Distinguished Faculty Award in 1999 and the John P. Ellbogen Lifetime Teaching Award in 2016 and was the university’s Buchanan Lecturer in 2021.
