Emily A. Marshall

Emily A. Marshall is an Associate Professor and Department Chair in the Computer Science and Mathematics Department at Arcadia University, where she has served since 2017 after completing a postdoctoral position at Louisiana State University (2014-2017).

Her academic credentials include:

• BA in Mathematics from Dartmouth College (2009)
• PhD in Mathematics from Vanderbilt University (2014)

Dr. Marshall specializes in structural graph theory, conducting theoretical research on Hamilton cycles, graph minors, and pathwidth. These fundamental graph structures model connections between objects with wide-ranging applications across computer science (network algorithms), engineering (circuit design), biology (protein interactions), and chemistry (molecular structures). Her work bridges abstract mathematical concepts with practical computational implementations.

As an educator, she mentors undergraduate capstone projects focusing on graph theory applications and interdisciplinary mathematics-computer science collaborations, emphasizing how graph models solve real-world problems in data analysis and system design.
