Dave Kung has worked in the intersection of mathematics and equity at numerous levels over the last three decades. Most recently, Kung served as the director of policy at the Charles A. Dana Center at the University of Texas at Austin. In this role, Kung led the Launch Years Initiative, working to modernize math options for students across the high school/higher ed transition—and to ensure equitable access and success.

He also works closely with K–12 and higher ed organizations, concentrating on equity issues in mathematics. Kung has authored a variety of articles and books on topics in harmonic analysis and mathematics education. His two Great Courses lecture series, on math/music and mind-bending paradoxes, have engaged audiences around the world. Kung was awarded the Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award, the MAA’s highest award in college math teaching, for his work at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, a public honors college outside Washington, D.C. He resides there, working as a consultant for a variety of organizations.
