He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Maryland, where he specialized in the study of dynamical systems. Prior to arriving at UNC Charlotte, Dr. McGoff worked as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Duke University. Dr. McGoff’s research now focuses on both theoretical and applied aspects of dynamical systems. In his more theoretical work, he investigates the long-term behavior of systems in which the rules of evolution have been selected at random. On the applied side, he develops and analyzes statistical procedures for modeling complex dynamic processes. Dr. McGoff has received funding from the National Science Foundation to conduct his research, and he has published papers in the Annals of Probability, the Annals of Statistics, the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, and Genome Biology.
