R.C. Smith, Associate Director of CRSC

Dr. Smith is a Professor of Mathematics and Co-Director of the Operations Research Program at North Carolina State University. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Montana State University in 1990.

Dr. Smith's research interests include aspects of mathematical modeling, numerical analysis and control theory. He has written numerous papers and a book on smart material systems, and much of his current research focuses on mathematical issues concerning high performance smart material actuators and sensors in structural, structural acoustic, and aeroacoustic systems.
