Mathematics and Statistics Research

Faculty in Saint Louis University’s Department of Mathematics and Statistics are leaders in research who publishing in leading journals and are invited to present their scholarly work to national and international audiences.

Mathematics research at SLU tends to fall in one of four areas:

Algebra/Combinatorics/Number Theory

The algebra group includes faculty members with interests in group theory, representation theory, ring theory and finite dimensional algebras.

  • Bryan Clair, Ph.D.
  • Cody Gilbert, Ph.D.
  • Benjamin Hutz, Ph.D.
  • Greg Marks, Ph.D.
  • Michael May, S.J., Ph.D.
  • Özlem Ugurlu, Ph.D.
  • Julianne Rainbolt, Ph.D.
  • Ashish K Srivastava, Ph.D.

Analysis

Among our analysis group are faculty members interested in wavelets, Banach spaces, analytic functions, Lie group representations and analysis on symmetric spaces.

  • Dan Freeman, Ph.D.
  • Dorsa Ghoreishi, Ph.D.
  • Brody Johnson, Ph.D.
  • James Gill, Ph.D.
  • Elodie Pozzi, Ph.D.
  • Nirina Lovasoa Randrianarivony, Ph.D.
  • Darrin Speegle, Ph.D.

Data Science

  • Bryan Clair, Ph.D.
  • Haijun Gong, Ph.D.
  • Jie Hou, Ph.D. (Computer science department)
  • Vahan Huroyan, Ph.D.
  • David Letscher, Ph.D. 
  • Darrin Speegle, Ph.D.
  • Abby Stylianou, Ph.D. (Computer science department)

Differential Geometry

The differential geometry group is interested in hyperbolic and Lorentzian geometry, rank one Lie groups and relativity.

  • Stacey Harris, Ph.D.
  • James Hebda, Ph.D.

Probability/Statistics

  • Haijun Gong, Ph.D.
  • Hugo Panzo, Ph.D.
  • Vahan Huroyan, Ph.D.

Topology

The topology group has a wide variety of interests, with an emphasis on the topology of three-dimensional manifolds. Areas of specialty include hyperbolic three-manifolds, knot theory and foliations.

  • Anneke Bart, Ph.D.
  • Bryan Clair, Ph.D.
  • John Kalliongis, Ph.D.
  • Michael Landry, Ph.D.
  • David Letscher, Ph.D.
