David Minda

Carl David Minda is an American mathematician, the Charles Phelps Taft Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cincinnati.[1][2]

Minda did his undergraduate studies at the University of Cincinnati, earning a bachelor's degree in 1965 and a masters in 1966. He then earned his Ph.D. in 1970 from the University of California, San Diego, under the supervision of Burton Rodin.[3] He taught at the University of Minnesota, and then returned to the Cincinnati faculty. He was given the Taft Professorship in 1999.[4] His research falls within the branch of mathematics known as Complex Analysis. His research interests include structure of hyperbolic metric, Riemann surfaces, and geometric Schwarz-Pick lemma.

In 2001, Minda won the University of Cincinnati's Dolly Cohen Award for Excellence in Teaching,[4] and in 2002, he won the distinguished teaching award of the Ohio section of the Mathematical Association of America.[5]
