Vita David Charles Murphy was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan on September 29, 1973. In 1996 he graduated Summa Cum Laude from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo receiving a B.A. in Mathematics. He received his M.S. in Mathematics in 1998 from the University <strong>of</strong> Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In 2004 he earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University <strong>of</strong> Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Throughout the course <strong>of</strong> his graduate studies, he was a teaching assistant and a VIGRE pre-doctoral fellow. During this time, he won the Department <strong>of</strong> Mathematics Teaching Assistant Instructional Award (2001), Delta Sigma Omicron Distinguished Teaching Award (2001), and the Irving Reiner Memorial Award in Algebra (2003). 71
