Kean University to Shift to Remote Operations on Sunday, October 12

Kean University will shift to remote operations on Sunday, October 12, due to the State of Emergency declared across New Jersey in response to the forecasted nor’easter storm. All classes scheduled for Sunday on New Jersey campuses will move to remote instruction, and all in-person activities are canceled. 

Only essential personnel should report to work as required. Employees with questions should contact their supervisors for guidance. Keanu’s Kitchen on the Union campus will remain open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday to serve residential students.

The Farnum Lab

Edward Farnum, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics at NJCSTM. Farnum’s research interests include differential equations, mathematical physics, asymptotic analysis, numerical methods and scientific computing.  He applies all of these approaches to models in nonlinear optical science. In particular, he is interested in constructing and analyzing nonlinear wave models for ultra-short pulse propagation, which may be especially useful in all optical computing and improved fiber optic communications. His teaching interests have a similar applied and computational flavor.

Farnum’s courses feature mathematical modeling, scientific computation, asymptotic analysis and spectral methods.  He earned his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Washington in 2005.
