James Dibble

James Dibble is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Southern Maine, affiliated with the College of Science, Technology, and Health. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from Rutgers University (2014) and bachelor’s degrees in Mathematics and English from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (2006). His research focuses on differential geometry, comparison geometry, and geodesics. He has taught at institutions including the University of Pittsburgh and conducted research at Capital Normal University in Beijing.

• Education:
• PhD, Mathematics, Rutgers University-New Brunswick (2014)
• BS & BA, Mathematics and English, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (2006, magna cum laude)

His research explores geometric structures and properties of manifolds, with recent work examining fundamental groups in spaces without conjugate points and totally geodesic maps in manifolds without focal points. Though no awards are listed, his publications reflect contributions to geometric analysis. He currently resides in Yarmouth with his family and can be reached at the Portland campus.
