Alumni Distinguished Professor of Mathematical Sciences
Professor Brawley's main research interest is in finite field theory and applications. He has over 60 publications, and has coauthored with Schnibben a book Infinite Algebraic Extensions of Finite Fields. He has been a consultant for National Security Agency since 1975. His honors include Clemson University Board of Trustees Award of Excellence (1999, 2000), Mathematical Association of America Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award (1999), South Carolina Governor's Distinguished Professor (1995-96), and Clemson "Class of '39 Award for Excellence" (1989). Visit his personal web page here.
M.S. Clemson University, 1999

Jeff is a Ph.D candidate in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. His research area is Algebra/Discrete Math. Particular interests include field and ring theory, combinatorics, Groebner bases, and error-correcting codes. Currently, he is working with Shuhong Gao on a new algorithm for decoding Hermitian codes. Visit Jeff's personal page here.
PhD, University of Waterloo, 1993
Professor of Mathematical Sciences
Professor Gao's research areas include finite fields, cryptography, coding theory, computer algebra, combinatorial designs, and algorithmic number theory. He has over 30 publications, and has coauthored with Menezes et al. a book Applications of Finite Fields. He is on the Editorial Board of the international journal Designs, Codes and Cryptography.

B.S. Grove City College 1996
Todd has just completed his third year of graduate studies at Clemson University and is now on leave with a full-time position with the Department of Defense. For his Master's thesis, he compared video poker machines in South Carolina with those in Las Vegas as a part of South Carolina's 1999 referendum on the game. A summary of this research in PDF format can be found here. Recently, he has begun to study solving sparse linear systems over finite fields and black boxes associated with techniques of solving such systems. A copy of his resume can be found here.
M.S. Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, 1995
