Stephen Francis May



About Me:


I am currently a graduate student in Mathematics at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina.  My research, conducted under the advisement of Dr. Ralph Smith, focuses on reduced-order modeling of smart material systems.  I received my MS in Applied Mathematics from NC State in December 2006.  I hope to finish my PhD in Applied Mathematics in the summer of 2010.

I graduated from Franklin & Marshall College in 2004 with a BA in Mathematics and a minor in Economics.  During my time at Franklin & Marshall, I met Lindsay May (then Lindsay Hilbert).  We were married on June 4th of 2005.

Outside of school, my interests include playing and watching sports.  I especially enjoy watching Penn State football.  I love visiting new places with Lindsay and spending time with friends and family.
