Bozenna Janina Pasik-Duncan (born 1947) is a Polish-American mathematician who works as a professor of mathematics at the University of Kansas.
Pasik-Duncan's research concerns stochastic control and its applications in communications, economics, and health science. She is also interested in mathematics education, particularly for women in STEM fields. [1] [2]
Pasik-Duncan attended high school in Radom. [3] She earned a master's degree in mathematics from the University of Warsaw in 1970. [1] She completed a Ph.D. at the Warsaw School of Economics in 1978, and earned a habilitation there in 1986. [1] [4]
She moved to the University of Kansas mathematics department in 1984, [1] joining there her husband Tyrone Duncan (also a University of Kansas mathematician). [2]
She was a recipient of the IEEE's Third Millennium Medal in 2000, and became a Fellow of the IEEE in 2001. [1] [5] She was the 2004 AWM/MAA Falconer Lecturer, [6] and the 2004 winner of the Louise Hay Award for Contributions to Mathematics Education of the Association for Women in Mathematics. [5] She was named a Fellow of the International Federation of Automatic Control in 2014. [7] Pasik-Duncan was selected as a Fellow of the Association for Women in Mathematics in the Class of 2021 "for her decades of contributions: as a founder and sustainer of the Women in Control Committee of the IEEE Control Systems Society; as the chair of IFAC’s Task Force on Diversity and Inclusion; and via other programs and activities to support and encourage women and girls in mathematics and engineering".
