معرفی
Dr. Carmen Caprau is a Professor of Mathematics at the College of Science and Mathematics, California State University, Fresno. She joined the university in Fall 2007 and holds a License in Mathematics from the West University of Timisoara, Romania, and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Iowa (2007). Her research focuses on Low-dimensional Topology, Knot Theory, and Categorifications of Knot Invariants.
Education:
- License in Mathematics (equiv. of a B.S. in Math), West University of Timisoara, Romania
- Ph.D. Mathematics, The University of Iowa, USA
Research Interests: Dr. Caprau's work is centered on advancing knowledge in topology and knot theory. She explores categorifications of knot invariants and their applications, contributing to the broader field of geometric topology. Her research often involves seamed cobordisms and sl(2) tangle homology, as seen in her doctoral dissertation.
Teaching and Student Support: In Spring 2025, she teaches MATH 193B (Jr. Seminar in Pure Mathematics) and MATH 290 (Graduate Independent Study). She holds student support hours every Friday 10:00-10:55 and 12:00-1:00 in PB 13, and by appointment in her office PB 381. Over her career, she has taught a wide range of courses, including foundational calculus and advanced graduate seminars.
