Rate My Professor Jianzhong Su

Su's scholarly contributions include key publications such as "Attenuation Coefficients of Tubular Conduits for Liquid Phase Absorbance Measurement: Shot Noise Limited Optimum Path Length" (Analytical Chemistry, 2019), "Transitioning from acute to chronic pain: a simulation study of trajectories of low back pain" (PLoS One, 2019), "Dynamics of neurons in the pre-Bötzinger complex under magnetic flow effect" (Nonlinear Dynamics, 2018), and contributions to Brain Informatics proceedings (2018). His research has accumulated over 1,200 citations. At UTA, he has supervised twelve Ph.D. students from 2002 to 2021, fostering a robust doctoral program. Under his chairmanship, the department received the American Mathematical Society Mathematics Programs That Make a Difference Award in 2023 and the Exemplary Program or Achievement in a Mathematics Department Award in 2013. Su has led transformative initiatives, including NSF S-STEM programs providing scholarships to mathematics majors—a six-year, nearly $2 million grant in 2026 and prior awards over $600,000—as well as a $500,000 USDA project in 2022 to train students for climate-smart agriculture careers. His mentoring programs for underrepresented minorities and community college students have demonstrated local and national impacts, enhancing diversity and student success in Mathematics.
