Prior to joining academia, he worked for AT&T Bell Laboratories.
Dr. Lagarias' training was in number theory. His research interests also include discrete geometry, dynamical systems, mathematical optimization, harmonic analysis, computational complexity and mathematical physics. He has authored more than 200 publications with more than 100 collaborators worldwide and has edited four books.
Dr. Lagarias is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
