Biography
Thomas R. Cameron is an assistant professor of Mathematics at Penn State Behrend, specializing in matrix polynomials, numerical polynomial solutions, spectral properties of directed graphs, and graph zero forcing numbers.
Research Interests
Numerical linear algebra: study of matrix polynomials, the non-linear eigenvalue problem, and the numerical solution of polynomial roots; Algebraic graph theory: study of graphs and digraphs using the algebraic properties of their associated matrices; Zero forcing: study of binary coloring games on graphs and related graph parameters.
