Dr. Joel A. Rosenfeld joined the faculty of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at USF in the Fall of 2019 as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Rosenfeld received his PhD in Mathematics at the University of Florida in 2013 under the direction of Dr. Michael Jury, after which he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Florida with Dr. Warren Dixon. He then became a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Vanderbilt University with Dr. Taylor T. Johnson, where he later became a Senior Research Scientist Engineer. Dr. Rosenfeld has conducted workshops in Data Driven methods for Dynamical Systems, and in 2020 he became the lead PI on a multi-institutional NSF award to study the interplay between dynamical systems, kernel functions, and associated operators. In the same year, he became co-PI on a grant for AFOSR studying operator theoretic methods for control affine systems, and under the same AFOSR program, Dr. Rosenfeld was awarded the prestigious YIP award for the study of Hilbert spaces for the development of operators for nonlocal dynamical systems.
