Professional Employment

Martin Stynes was a Lecturer at Waterford Regional Technical College, Ireland from 1979 to 1984.
He then moved to University College Cork, where he was successively Lecturer, Statutory Lecturer, Professor (Scale 2) — these are the equivalents of assistant/associate/full professor. He was a Fulbright Research Professor at Kent State University (USA) in 1990, Royal Society Visiting Fellow at Oxford University (U.K.) in 1991, Visiting Professor at University of Colorado at Denver (USA) in 1997, DFG Visiting Professor at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg (Germany) in 1998, Visiting Professor at the University of South Carolina (USA) in 2004, and DFG Mercator Guest Professor at the Technical University of Dresden (Germany) in 2008. He was the elected President of the UK and Republic of Ireland Section of SIAM 2003-5.

He serves on the editorial boards of the journals Advances in Computational Mathematics, Computational Methods in Applied Mathematics, Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis, Journal of Scientific Computing, and Mathematical Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy.

He took early retirement from University College Cork in 2012 in order to concentrate on research. He has been at CSRC since 2014.

A copy of my 2018 book "Singularly Perturbed Differential Equations and Their Numerical Solution" is availablehere.

This copy is almost identical to the final book published by the American Mathematical Society and described on the AMS webpage https://bookstore.ams.org/gsm-196/ (The copy has black and white figures, but the AMS book has colour figures.)
