Beth A Novick

Beth A Novick is a Principal Lecturer in the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at Clemson University, part of the College of Science. She holds a Ph.D. in Operations Research from Carnegie Mellon University (1990) and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Waterloo's Department of Combinatorics and Optimization (1990–91). Her primary research focuses on combinatorial optimization, discrete mathematics, graph theory, and related areas including median graphs, metric dimension, and reconfiguration graphs. She has been affiliated with Clemson University since 1992.

Her research interests encompass integer programming, algebraic graph theory, matroids, and closure systems. Notable contributions include studies on reconfiguration graphs of shortest paths and geometric interpretations of threshold dimensions. She is a member of the American Mathematical Society and Women in Combinatorics. Teaching responsibilities include courses such as Linear Algebra and Graph Theory.
