Oleg Friedman, PhD
Oleg Friedman received his BS/MS in mathematics from Samarkand State University and PhD in mathematics from the University of South Africa. His PhD thesis was “Structure and Representation of Real Locally C*- and Locally JB-algebras”. As a researcher at the Russian Academy of Sciences he developed stochastic mathematical models of glass-like dynamic transitions and pattern recognition of neural networks.
Dr. Friedman has taught mathematics at Polytechnic University and St. John’s University. His main research interests are in the field of topological algebras and representation theory of unbounded operator algebras used for axiomatization of quantum mechanics.
He is an assistant professor and pre-engineering program advisor at Lander College for Men.
