Martin Schmoll

Martin Schmoll is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at Clemson University, affiliated with the College of Science. His research focuses on dynamical systems theory, mathematical physics, and geometry, with applications to polygonal billiards, Eaton lens patterns, and optimization. He actively supervises students in topics ranging from dynamical systems to differential geometry and hosts the NSF-funded Carolina Dynamics Symposium (CDS).

His teaching includes advanced calculus, complex analysis, and specialized courses like Calculus of Variations and Geometric Analysis. Research interests span ergodic optimization, measure theory, and algebraic topology, with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinary applications in physics and applied mathematics.

Publications highlight contributions to billiard dynamics, Siegel-Veech constants, rotation set computability, and light ray behavior in periodic lens arrays. His work bridges pure mathematics with applied problems, demonstrating the interplay between dynamical systems and real-world phenomena.

Awards and grants are not explicitly listed, though his involvement in the CDS reflects active community engagement. Advising focuses on fostering research in accessible yet impactful areas, often leveraging self-study frameworks built on standard coursework.
