Speaker:	Dr. David Kung, Saint Mary's College of Maryland
Title:	How Math Made Modern Music Mad

Dr. Kung is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department at Saint Mary's College of Maryland. He received a B.A. in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Wisconsin in 1994 and his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin in August of 2000. His primary research interests are in the areas of harmonic analysis and mathematics education. He has published over 10 articles on mathematical research and mathematics outreach programs and has given over 45 invited addresses, including to an audience of over 400 as the Mathematical Association of America's (MAA) invited Student Lecturer at the 2010 Joint Mathematics Meetings.

Dr. Kung is incredibly active in the mathematical community, serving as the "Grand Poobah" of the Young Mathematicians' Network (Managing Editor), a member of the MAA Committee on Early Career Mathematicians, and serving on more than 10 invited panels addressing issues related all aspects of being a mathematician.

Dr. Kung’s work with students has been recognized at several levels. He was awarded the "John M. Smith Teaching Award" from the Maryland/DC/Virginia Section of the Mathematical Association of America. He has been nominated for both the national CASE Professor of the Year award and the MAA's Henry L. Alder Award for Distinguished Teaching. At his home institution, he was awarded the Homer L. Dodge Award for Excellence in Teaching by Junior Faculty.

On top of his regular teaching, Dr. Kung is also active in mathematical outreach to the broader community. He has taught in Emerging Scholars Programs (EMS) in both Wisconsin and Maryland, as well as directed worksshops for mathematical faculty on how to begin an EMS program. He is also Co-PI on an NSF grant to develop video vignettes for the training of graduate teaching assistants.
