Welcome! I am Kim, a mathematician and statistician at Juniata College.

I have training in both statistics and mathematics. Currently my research is in statistical techniques for microbial genomics, but my original field is complex dynamics. My interests also include the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning both in mathematics and statistics. I am part of both the mathematics department and the data science program including the data science masters..

My Ph.D is in mathematics from The Pennsylvania State University and my Masters in Applied Statistics is from the Pennsylvania State University’s World Campus. My bachelor’s degree is in mathematics with a minor in computer science from Oberlin College.

Mathemalchemy

The Mathemalchemy project is a large multimedia art installation that celebrates the creativity and beauty of mathematics, driven by the collaborative energy and enthusiasm of twenty-four mathematical artists and artistic mathematicians. I was one of those mathematical artists!

Learn more about the Mathemalchemy project from its website (https://mathemalchemy.org/), which includes related stories, press, and even a comic book adventure in math and art. The comic is by Jay Hosler and Max Hosler and contains the picture of me above that they kindly allow me to use.
