Adam Lowrance

Adam Lowrance is an Associate Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at Vassar College, where he has served since 2012. He holds a BA in Mathematics and Computer Science from Amherst College and a PhD in Mathematics from Louisiana State University.

His research focuses on low-dimensional topology, particularly knot theory and 3-manifold theory. Recent work has explored properties of 2-bridge knots, Turaev genus, Khovanov homology, and geometric invariants. His publications frequently intersect algebraic and geometric approaches to topological problems.

Teaching responsibilities include Linear Algebra (MATH 221) and Advanced Linear Algebra (MATH 364). He maintains an active research program with a focus on undergraduate research, as evidenced by grants such as the NSF RUI initiative.

Professional activities include service on departmental committees and contributions to topological research communities. Contact details: adlowrance@vassar.edu, Rockefeller Hall Box 302.
