Dr. Angelynn R. Álvarez is a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics, College of Arts & Sciences at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) in Prescott, Arizona. She holds significant service roles as Archivist of ERAU's Faculty Senate, Faculty Fellow for the Center for Teaching & Learning Excellence, and Secretary of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) Southwestern Section.
Her academic foundation includes:
- Ph.D. in Mathematics, University of Houston
- M.S. in Mathematics, University of Houston
- B.A. in Mathematics (Spanish concentration), University of Houston
Dr. Alvarez's research bridges theoretical and applied mathematics with dual emphases: (1) Coding Theory advancements in locally recoverable codes and algebraic constructions for data storage systems, and (2) Differential Geometry investigations of holomorphic sectional curvature. Her parallel work in Mathematics Education develops inclusive pedagogical frameworks, particularly through Students-as-Partners initiatives and diversity-focused mentorship training. This interdisciplinary approach connects pure mathematics with engineering applications and educational innovation.
Her recognition includes:
- ERAU 2025 Teacher of the Year Award
- AMS-Simons Research Enhancement Grant (PI, 2023-2026)
- Consecutive MAA Tensor Grants for Women in Mathematics (2022-2025)
- ERAU FIRST Grant for research innovation (2023-2024)
- Innovative Teaching Grant from ERAU's Center for Teaching Excellence (2023)
As an educator, Dr. Alvarez teaches the full undergraduate mathematics curriculum while mentoring through independent studies and PCMI workshops. Her research is supported by active AMS-Simons and ERAU grants, while her educational initiatives leverage MAA funding. She co-directed the Arizona Women's Symposium (2022-2024) and maintains leadership in AMS, MAA, and AWM to advance inclusive practices in mathematical communities.
Dr. Alvarez's 2025-2026 research agenda features collaborations at AIM, ICERM, and Pomona College, alongside invited presentations at major conferences including the Mathematical Congress of the Americas, demonstrating sustained contributions to both research frontiers and educational transformation.
