Research Interests

David Kaminski has been with the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science for over a decade. His active research interests are in the area of asymptotics and special functions, with particular focus on the asymptotics of functions defined by Laplace-type integrals and Mellin-Barnes integrals. Recently, his investigations have widened to include nonlinear difference equations associated with orthogonal polynomials with Freud weights. These problems arise in the mathematics frequently found in applications from physical science and engineering. His work in these areas is NSERC funded.
