Dena Morton

Dr. Dena Morton is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Xavier University and serves as Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Her research focuses on pure mathematics, particularly combinatorial game theory, topology, and homotopy theory. She views mathematics as a creative endeavor, emphasizing theoretical exploration and elegant results. Professional interests include cryptography.

Her expertise in combinatorial game theory examines two-player deterministic games with perfect information (e.g., chess, go, and Nim), exploring strategies and outcomes without chance or ties. These games emphasize logical reasoning and strategic analysis.
