Bryan Mosher

Bryan Mosher is a Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the School of Mathematics at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. He also serves as Chair of the Curriculum Committee for the College of Science and Engineering.

Education:

• PhD in Mathematics (1998), University of Illinois at Chicago (Thesis: "Displacement estimates for hyperbolic manifolds"; Advisor: Peter Shalen)
• MS in Mathematics (1994), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
• BS in Mathematics (1992), Ohio University, Honors Tutorial College

Research Focus: Professor Mosher's work bridges mathematics education and geometric topology. His education research emphasizes technology integration, active learning methodologies, K-12 teacher content development, and equity initiatives for historically marginalized STEM students. His mathematical research explores 3-manifold geometry, low-dimensional topology, and geometric group theory applications.

Academic Leadership: As Director of Undergraduate Studies, he oversees curriculum design, student advising, and honors programs. His teaching portfolio spans foundational calculus sequences (including Honors Calculus II), advanced topology courses, and innovative offerings like the Tabletop Games Honors NEXUS Experience and 3D Printing. His baseball umpiring background informs his geometric analysis of official field construction standards.
