Daphne Der-Fen Liu is Professor and Chair of the Department of Mathematics at California State University, Los Angeles (College of Natural & Social Sciences), where she has served since 1991. Her affiliations include prior work as a Research Assistant at Academia Sinica in Taiwan. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina and a B.S. from National Central University. Research Interests: Liu specializes in graph theory and combinatorics, with emphasis on: Graph coloring parameters (circular, fractional, list-coloring) Distance graphs and connections to number theory Radio/antimagic labeling for optimization Topological methods in graph problems Her work is funded by NSF and NASA grants. Teaching: She developed a graph theory course, employs flipped classroom strategies, and co-leads a U.S. Department of Education grant for pedagogical innovation. Awards include: 2015 MAA Distinguished Teaching Award 2018 President’s Distinguished Professor Award 2003 Outstanding Professor Award 2016 Distinguished Women Award Publications focus on graph labeling/coloring, with recent trends in antimagic labeling for tree-like structures and radio-k-labeling optimizations. She mentors student research but directs no formal lab.

• Semiotics
• +۷ مورد دیگر

Marc Champagne is a Regular Tenured Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and a Senior Fellow with the Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy. He is also the Founder of Certified AI-Free Skills and Knowledge, a non-profit initiative identifying and verifying courses that maintain human-centered learning approaches. His academic journey includes being an alumnus of York University's Philosophy program. Champagne's research spans multiple philosophical domains with particular emphasis on semiotics , philosophy of mind , and ethics . His work demonstrates a unique integration of Peircean semiotics with contemporary issues in technology, consciousness, and AI. He has developed original concepts like "semiotic inflation" to analyze how AI-generated content affects human experience and value systems. His scholarship bridges classical philosophical frameworks with cutting-edge technological challenges, particularly in robotics ethics and virtual reality philosophy. Champagne's publication pattern reveals consistent engagement with foundational questions about consciousness, meaning, and responsibility in the digital age. His recent work increasingly focuses on AI ethics, robot responsibility, and the existential implications of technology. He frequently employs semiotic theory to analyze phenomena ranging from human-AI interaction to interstellar communication possibilities, demonstrating remarkable interdisciplinary range while maintaining philosophical rigor. Through his founding of Certified AI-Free Skills and Knowledge, Champagne actively translates his theoretical work into practical applications that help preserve human-centered educational experiences. His scholarship consistently challenges conventional thinking about technology's role in society while offering constructive alternatives grounded in philosophical traditions.
