would like to recognize Stephen Chestnut with the Maurice Davies Award. Stephen's
adviser, Manuel Lladser writes: Stephen Chestnut is an MS candidate in Applied
Mathematics at CU-Boulder and a 2009 NSF awardee of the East Asia and Pacific
Summer Institutes Program for US graduate students working in science and
engineering. Stephen's work involves a novel application of Doeblin's
ergodicity coefficient for low-complexity approximations of occupancy
distributions in Markov chains. An extended abstract on this work will be
submitted to the International Meeting on Probabilistic, Combinatorial, and
Asymptotic Methods for the Analysis of Algorithms and a more complete article
will be submitted to a journal sometime this year. After Stephen's MS
graduation in May 2010, he will continue towards the PhD.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
