Chad Giusti Associate Professor | Mathematics

Chad Giusti is a mathematician working in the area of topological data analysis, which characterizes mesoscale and qualitative structure in complex systems. His research involves both mathematical foundations and applications, principally in areas of neuroscience. This work appeared in journals such as PNAS, the Journal of Topology, and Crelle's, and has been supported by the NSF, AFOSR, and AFRL. He grew up in Oregon, and obtained his BS and PhD in mathematics at the University of Oregon in 2003 and 2010, respectively. Prior to his current appointment, he was an Assistant Professor of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Delaware, a Warren Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, and held postdoctoral positions at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln and Willamette University.

Stacey Vaughn Senior Instructor I | Mathematics

Stacey Vaughn has a B.S. in Mathematics and an M.S. in Mathematics both from Oregon State University.  Stacey’s primary focus is on teaching: creating an inclusive classroom while making mathematics accessible to students. Stacey believes that removing barriers to entry and promoting mathematically confidence in students are two major hurdles that require constant care and attention in teaching. “My students consistently bring out the best in me, and it is my goal to bring out the best in them.”
