Jo Ellis-Monaghan

Joanna Anthony Ellis-Monaghan is an American mathematician and mathematics educator whose research interests include graph polynomials and topological graph theory. She is a professor of mathematics at the Korteweg-de Vries Institute for Mathematics of the University of Amsterdam.

Education and career

Ellis-Monaghan grew up in Alaska.[1] She graduated from Bennington College in 1984 with a double major in mathematics and studio art, and earned a master's degree in mathematics from the University of Vermont in 1986. After beginning a doctoral program at Dartmouth College, she transferred to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she completed her Ph.D. in 1995.[2] Her dissertation, supervised by Jim Stasheff, was A unique, universal graph polynomial and its Hopf algebraic properties, with applications to the Martin polynomial.[2][3]

She joined the Saint Michael's College faculty in 1992,[2] chaired the department there,[1] and has also held positions at the University of Vermont.[2] In 2020 she became professor of Discrete Mathematics at the University of Amsterdam.[4]

Contributions

With Iain Moffat, Ellis-Monaghan is the author of the book Graphs on Surfaces: Dualities, Polynomials, and Knots (Springer, 2013).[5]

From 2010-2020, she served as Editor-in-Chief of PRIMUS, a journal on the teaching of undergraduate mathematics.[6]
