Charles Burnette is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Xavier University of Louisiana. Prior to joining Xavier in 2020, he held postdoctoral positions at the Academia Sinica Institute of Statistical Science (Taipei, Taiwan) and Saint Louis University. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics at Drexel University in 2017 under Dr. Eric Schmutz.
- Education:
- Ph.D. in Mathematics, Drexel University (2017)
- Postdoctoral Experience:
- Academia Sinica Institute of Statistical Science (Taipei, Taiwan)
- Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Saint Louis University
Dr. Burnette's research lies in discrete mathematics, with a focus on analytic combinatorics and probabilistic number theory. His work explores topics such as:
- Asymptotic enumeration
- Random permutations and their statistical properties
- Random polynomials/matrices over finite fields
- Integer anatomy and geodesic convexity in graphs
- Applications to biology and epidemiology
His recent publications examine permutation statistics, rational function dynamics, and involutions in symmetric groups. Notably, he has collaborated with undergraduate students on projects like the 'Bee Colony Optimization for Traveling Salesperson Problem.'
Dr. Burnette is deeply committed to education, teaching courses in discrete structures and combinatorics. He co-organizes mathematics outreach events, including Pi Day Jeopardy! and a high school math fair, where he often hosts competitions in Alex Trebek cosplay.
Funding for his research has been provided by the Simons-Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute's ADJOINT program and internally at Xavier University.
