About Dr. Shader
Bryan Shader joined the University of Wyoming faculty in 1990. He came to the University of Wyoming from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
He serves as a Special Assistant to the Vice President of Research and Economic Development. In this role, he oversees UW Research Computing efforts and acts as a liaison with the NCAR Wyoming Supercomputing Center.
Bryan is Editor-in-chief of the Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra, and he serves on the editorial boards of Linear Algebra and its Applications, and Linear and Multilinear Algebra.
His research interests include Linear Algebra, Matrix Theory and Combinatorics. I am currently working on several projects involving Inverse Eigenvalue Problems for Graphs, and Tournaments. He also has a deep passion for working with students and colleagues on mathematics!
