He is currently a professor of applied mathematics (since 1998) at Stony Brook University in New York. As an adjunct or visiting professor, he has worked at Columbia University, National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, and IBM T. J. Watson Research Laboratory. Prof. Deng’s research covers parallel computing, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo methods, and biomedical engineering. The latest focus is on the multi-scale modeling of platelet activations and aggregations (funded by US NIH, New York State, and IBM) on supercomputers, parallel optimization algorithms, and supercomputer network topologies. He publishes widely in diverse fields of physics, computational mathematics, and biomedical engineering. He has supervised nearly 30 doctoral theses and taught more than 15,000 students (as of 2021) ordinary differential equations and numerical analysis. He is the recipient (2016) of the State University of New York Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching. During the AY ’21-’22, he is a visiting professor of mathematics at New York University in Abu Dhabi.
