Philip Korman

Philip Korman is a Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cincinnati, College of Arts and Sciences. He earned his Ph.D. from New York University in 1981 and has maintained an active research career for over four decades.

His research focuses on differential equations, particularly nonlinear analysis, partial differential equations, boundary value problems, and bifurcation theory. Korman has made significant contributions to the understanding of solution curves, exact multiplicity of solutions, and resonance phenomena in nonlinear equations. His work often combines theoretical analysis with computational approaches, as evidenced by his numerous papers on numerical computation of solutions.

Korman's scholarly output demonstrates consistent activity with publications spanning from 1981 to 2024. His research has evolved from foundational work in nonlinear boundary value problems to more specialized investigations of solution curves, multiplicity results, and computational methods for nonlinear equations. The most recent publications continue his focus on global solution curves, resonance problems, and exact multiplicity results.

He has served on numerous editorial boards including Mathematica Slovaca, Communications on Applied Nonlinear Analysis, Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, and SIAM Review. Korman has also been an active peer reviewer for major mathematics journals such as Journal of Differential Equations, Nonlinear Analysis, and Mathematische Nachrichten.

His departmental service includes roles as Colloquium Coordinator, committee member for PhD and master's examinations, and participation in departmental committees including RPT (Reappointment, Promotion, and Tenure), textbook selection, Math Bowl, and Calculus Contest. Korman has also served as a faculty sponsor and mentor, writing numerous recommendation letters for students and colleagues.

Korman has taught a wide range of mathematics courses from undergraduate calculus to graduate-level partial differential equations and applied complex analysis. His teaching portfolio reflects his expertise in differential equations and mathematical analysis.
