A Profile of Daniel Heyman

Heyman made significant contributions to queueing theory, Markov chain computations and communication protocol performance modeling during his career. Additionally, he contributed to coded video traffic source modeling and simulation.

He was also involved with Sierra Leone-based company Angaza Design as a founding member and advisor on new product development.

Early Life and Education

Heyman was an artist from Dartmouth College with a particular interest in war victims. Through his art he gave them voices. In 2006 he traveled with human rights lawyers to Jordan and Istanbul with former detainees from Abu Ghraib prison to hear them recount their stories of imprisonment.

By painting their faces encircled with words from their stories in a series of dry-point prints and gouache paintings, he combined both narratives to produce portraits that speak more deeply of who the subject was and his narrative as an artist. This method enabled his work to be showcased at PMA List Gallery as well as many exhibitions nationwide.

Professional Career

Heyman was a prominent scholar in operations research and his focus was the mathematical theory of stochastic processes. He published two books related to this field and belonged to multiple professional associations.

He is also a skilled painter whose art often portrays marginalized communities’ experiences; for instance, his portraits include Iraqi torture survivors from Abu Ghraib as well as Philadelphia fathers struggling to raise their children.

He portrayed these individuals with the help of lithographs that featured their faces and voice through an alphabet of quotes that included their words to create dialogue between portrait and voice. Currently a professor of printmaking at Rhode Island School of Design, his work has won him several accolades such as a 2010 Guggenheim Fellowship and 2009 Pen Fellowship, in addition to teaching positions at Dartmouth College and the University of Pennsylvania.

Between 2006 and 2008, he accompanied human rights lawyer Susan Burke on multiple trips to Amman and Istanbul where he conducted interviews with Iraqi torture survivors at Abu Ghraib prison. While interviewing these Iraqis he sketched their likenesses while interweaving excerpts from their testimonies onto engraving plates or sheets of paper.
