معرفی
Bella Tobin is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at Agnes Scott College, located in Atlanta, Georgia. She is affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences and actively contributes to both research and undergraduate education in pure mathematics.
- BSc in Mathematics, University of Vermont
- MA in Mathematics, University of Hawaii
- PhD in Mathematics, University of Hawaii (2019)
Her primary research interests lie in number theory and arithmetic dynamics, with a focus on post-critically finite maps, dynamical Belyi maps, and the interplay between arithmetic dynamics and arithmetic geometry. She explores deep structural properties of polynomial and rational dynamical systems over number fields and non-archimedean fields, particularly through equidistribution phenomena and algebraic invariants.
The recent publications highlight a consistent trend in arithmetic dynamics and modular forms, combining tools from algebraic geometry, Galois theory, and p-adic analysis. Her work often involves collaborative efforts across institutions, focusing on irreducibility, supercongruences, and stochastic aspects of adelic measures. These contributions place her at the intersection of pure number theory and dynamical systems.
She has been actively involved in the academic community through speaking engagements and organizing special sessions, including at the AWM Research Symposium and regional number theory conferences.
Bella Tobin has held postdoctoral positions at Oklahoma State University (2019–2022) and Oregon State University (2022–2023), working with Paul Fili and Clay Petsche respectively. She continues summer collaborations with Thrive Scholars, indicating ongoing mentorship and outreach. While formal advisees are not listed, her collaborative research suggests strong engagement with junior mathematicians and students.
She maintains a research presence through her personal website and arXiv publications, and is committed to inclusive and accessible mathematics education, aiming to make the subject approachable and engaging for all students.
