  Brock Williams

Brock Williams came to Texas Tech in 1999 after earning a Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee and a B.S. from Mississippi State University. Dr. Williams primary research interests are discrete conformal geometry and geometric function theory. In particular, he especially interested in the application of circle packing techniques to Riemann surfaces and quasiconformal maps. For example, his circle packing version of conformal welding has led to advances in computational uniformization of surfaces.

He teaches Math 5360/5361: Advanced Math and Statistics for Teachers I and II for the (MS)2 multidisciplinary science master's program.
