Biographical Sketch for John H. Cozzens
I received a BA in mathematics at Temple University in 1966, and my PhD (also in
mathematics) at Rutgers University in 1969.
Before joining NSF, I was a Lead Scientist with the MITRE Corporation in Bedford MA,
where I worked in a variety of areas. These included (algebraic) coding theory, residue
number system arithmetic, detection and estimation, radar signal processing, network
survivability, and automatic target recognition. Before that, I taught mathematics for 11 years
at the college level. During that period, my research interests included (non)commutative ring
theory, homological algebra, and differential algebra. My current research interests include
detection and estimation theory, the application of algebraic methods to digital signal
processing, and nonlinear optimization.
