David J Horntrop is an American mathematician and is currently an Associate Professor^[1] of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. He has made many contributions in the fields of Applied Mathematics and Engineering.

Career and recognitions

Dr. Horntrop received his BS from Washington University in St. Louis and his PhD in 1995 from Princeton.

The research of David J. Horntrop has focused on the development and numerical simulation of stochastic models of physical phenomena for problems ranging from materials science to fluid dynamics. His studies of turbulent diffusion were based on random field models for the advection of passive scalars and involved asymptotics, stochastic analysis, and the creation of novel wavelet-based Monte Carlo numerical schemes for the simulation of random fields. His current studies of materials involve the development and use of mesoscopic models to describe surface processes in order to gain insight on the importance of small scale phenomena on the creation of large scale patterns. He is presently developing and validating new spectral methods for the numerical solution of stochastic partial differential equations for these studies.
