معرفی
Ami E. Radunskaya is the Lingurn H. Burkhead Professor of Mathematics at Pomona College, part of The Claremont Colleges. She specializes in dynamical systems, stochastic processes, and mathematical modeling with applications to tumor growth, power systems, and musical instrument design. Her work bridges pure mathematics and real-world problems in medicine and engineering. She is a leader in promoting diversity in mathematics through her roles as President of the EDGE Foundation and former President of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM).
Radunskaya earned her PhD from Stanford University and a BA from UC Berkeley. She teaches courses in calculus, differential equations, and probability. Her research focuses on applying mathematical models to understand complex biological and physical systems, including cancer treatment dynamics and power grid stability.
Research Highlights:
- Developed models for tumor-immune interactions and drug release kinetics in pharmaceutical systems
- Conducted pioneering work on non-linear power system stability using dynamical systems theory
- Advances in stochastic processes applied to biomedical and engineering contexts
Awards & Recognition:
- Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (2017)
- Pomona College Wig Distinguished Professor Award (2012)
- Stanford University Alfred Gores Award for Teaching Excellence (1991)
As co-director of the EDGE program, she has mentored hundreds of women mathematicians, particularly from underrepresented groups, supporting their academic and professional development. Her leadership in AWM emphasizes building inclusive communities across mathematical disciplines.
