Tasso J. Kaper

Tasso Joost Kaper is an American mathematician at Boston University, where he chairs the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. His research concerns dynamical systems and applied mathematics.[1]

Kaper's father is Hans G. Kaper, a Dutch-born retired mathematician at Argonne National Laboratory.[2][3] Tasso Kaper did his undergraduate studies at the University of Chicago, graduating in 1986.[1] He earned a Ph.D. in 1992 from the California Institute of Technology, under the supervision of Stephen Wiggins.[4] On finishing his doctorate, he joined the faculty at Boston University, where he has remained. He was editor-in-chief of SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems from 2005 to 2011, when he became department chair.[1]

In 2009, both Tasso and Hans Kaper were simultaneously honored as fellows of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.[2] In 2012, Kaper became one of the inaugural fellows of the American Mathematical Society.[5]
