Eric Stachura

Eric Stachura is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Kennesaw State University, affiliated with the College of Science and Mathematics. His research spans metamaterials, liquid crystal optics, fractals, and electromagnetic theory, with applications in acoustics and quantum mechanics.

• Ph.D. in Mathematics, Temple University (2016)
• M.A. in Mathematics, Temple University (2013)
• B.S. in Mathematics (minor in Physics), University of Illinois at Chicago (2011)

Stachura’s work focuses on mathematical modeling of physical systems, including the development of a novel framework for metamaterial lens design, analysis of electromagnetic wave propagation in fractal media, and nonlinear problems in geometric optics. He has co-authored foundational studies on Snell’s Law generalizations and the mathematics of metasurfaces.

His recent publications highlight interdisciplinary applications of mathematics, particularly in fractal geometry, liquid crystal optics, and acoustic wave dynamics. He leads the Immersive Visualization Environments Research Cluster at the Coles College of Business and is co-director of a paid summer internship program for high school and undergraduate students via the Army Educational Outreach Program.
