Clark Musselman

Clark Musselman is an Associate Professor at the University of Washington-Tacoma, affiliated with the School of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics, Department of Mathematics. His research and teaching focus on mathematical physics and applied analysis, particularly the influence of disorder on physical models using spectral theory, Markov processes, and semigroups.

• Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics, Michigan State University
• M.Sc. in Mathematics, Oregon State University
• B.S. in Physics & Mathematics, Clarkson University

His scholarly work explores how waves in disordered environments exhibit heat-like behavior, analyzing stochastic wave equations through operator theory and semigroups to demonstrate convergence to heat equations over time. Clark emphasizes teaching in supportive environments to build student confidence and foster curiosity, particularly in undergraduate mathematics.
