Department of Mathematical Sciences

Professor

Obtained a joint computer science and mathematics PhD from the University of Nebraska in 1984. He has held academic positions at Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Wyoming. He is currently a Professor of Mathematical Sciences at Michigan Technological University, where he teaches and conducts research in combinatorics and combinatorial algorithms. He has published numerous research papers and is a co-author of the internationally acclaimed texts: "Combinatorial Algorithms: Generation Enumeration and Search", CRC Press, . . .

Assistant Professor

Ethan Smith earned his BS from Grove City College in Pennsylvania, majoring in mathematics and philosophy.  Afterwards, he moved to South Carolina, where he earned his MS and PhD in mathematical sciences from Clemson University.  In the fall of 2009, he joined the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Michigan Tech as assistant professor.  His specialty is number theory with an emphasis on elliptic curves and associated prime distribution problems.

Currently, Ethan is taking a leave of absence from . . .

Associate Professor

I came to the US in Fall 2006, as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Notre Dame. Before then, I was a Ph.D. student at Queen's University, Canada, a postdoc at the University of Genova, Italy, and the Gustafsson postdoc at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. I joined the Michigan Tech faculty in Fall 2007, where I received early tenure and promotion to Associate Professor in Fall 2011. I just spent calendar year 2011 at MIT as a Visiting Professor, invited by Richard Stanley.

My research interests are in the fields of Combinatorial Commutative Algebra, Enumerative and Algebraic Combinatorics, and Partition . . .

Professor

I received my doctorate in Statistics from the University of Wyoming in 1985.  My primary area of interest is application of statistics to biology and ecology problems. I have worked on numerous consulting projects for state and federal agencies, and have taught a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate statistics courses.  As of late I have begun to consult on human health studies. Current research projects include: 1) examining the effects of wolf predation on the . . .

Assistant Professor

Prior to earning her Ph.D. in 2006, Dr. Stockero was a high school mathematics and science teacher in the Upper Peninsula. Her primary research interest is understanding how to support teacher learning at both the pre-service and inservice levels. Her current work, funded by a 2011 National Science Foundation CAREER award, focuses on helping mathematics teachers learn to notice important events that occur during instruction and use them to better support students' learning of mathematics.
