Ilie Ugarcovici earned his PhD in Mathematics from The Pennsylvania
State University in 2004. He then spent two years as a G.C. Evans
Instructor at Rice University before joining the faculty at DePaul
University in 2006. Ugarcovici’s research interests focus on dynamical
systems, ergodic theory, and population dynamics.
