Jun Ji

Jun Ji is a Professor of Mathematics at Kennesaw State University (KSU), affiliated with the Department of Mathematics in the College of Science and Mathematics. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Iowa in 1993. Before joining KSU in 2002 as an Associate Professor, he worked at Valdosta State University from 1993 to 2002. He was promoted to Professor in 2007. His research focuses on matrix computation, optimization, boundary value problems of differential equations, and tensors.

His academic career includes extensive contributions to linear algebra, numerical analysis, and differential equations. He has developed methods for computing matrix inverses (e.g., Drazin, Moore-Penrose, core-EP inverses) and explored their applications in tensor equations and boundary value problems. His work often combines theoretical insights with algorithmic innovation. Notably, he has contributed to frame theory, spectral analysis of discrete equations, and optimization techniques.

He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in mathematics, including linear algebra and specialized topics. His courses often utilize platforms like D2L for materials. He has organized educational programs, such as the 'China Revealed through its Math Education and Cultures' study abroad program, highlighting his engagement in international education.

While no specific grants or awards are listed, his prolific publication record (over 60 articles from 1985 to 2024) reflects sustained research activity across matrix theory, numerical methods, and differential equations. His work bridges pure and applied mathematics, with implications for engineering and computational sciences.
