معرفی
Dr. Ariane Masuda is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the School of Arts and Sciences, City University of New York (CUNY), specifically at New York City College of Technology. She concurrently serves as the Mathematics Education Clinical Experiences Director and a City Tech OER Fellow, demonstrating dual commitment to research and pedagogical innovation.
Her academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Mathematics, Carleton University, Canada
- M.Sc. in Mathematics, Federal Fluminense University, Brazil
- B.S. in Mathematics, Federal University of Paraná, Brazil
Dr. Masuda's research centers on Number Theory with specialized expertise in Finite Fields, Permutation Polynomials, and their cryptographic applications. Her work bridges abstract algebra and practical implementations, particularly in coding theory and cryptographic protocol design. She has made seminal contributions to understanding permutation binomials, Rédei permutations, and subgroup structures in linear groups, often revealing connections between combinatorial patterns and algebraic properties.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2024-2008) reveals consistent focus on algebraic structures within finite fields, with increasing emphasis on computational aspects and educational applications. Her research trajectory shows progression from theoretical foundations in permutation polynomials toward interdisciplinary applications in optimization and cryptography, while maintaining core number-theoretic investigations.
Dr. Masuda has secured significant research funding as Principal Investigator for multiple PSC-CUNY grants:
- Traditional A grants: 2013-2020, 2021-2022, 2023-2025
- Traditional B grant: 2020-2021
She has mentored 30 students through high school and undergraduate research programs and previously served as OER Co-Director for the U.S. Department of Education-funded Opening Gateways project (2017-2021), which targeted Hispanic-Serving Institution development.
Currently directing Mathematics Education Clinical Experiences, she integrates research insights into teacher preparation while advancing open educational resources through her City Tech OER Fellowship, creating synergies between theoretical mathematics and classroom practice.
