Emily Hendryx Lyons serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics and Interim Assistant Dean of the College of Mathematics and Science at the University of Central Oklahoma. Her interdisciplinary work bridges computational mathematics with real-world biomedical and environmental challenges, emphasizing student collaboration in research.
Education:
- Ph.D. Computational and Applied Mathematics, Rice University, 2018
- M.A. Computational and Applied Mathematics, Rice University, 2015
- B.S. Mathematics, Angelo State University, 2012
Her research integrates applied mathematics and data science to solve critical problems in biomedical informatics (automated ECG analysis for pediatric cardiology) and environmental science (quantifying stream litter accumulation). She develops computational frameworks like extended DEIM algorithms for class identification and CUR matrix decomposition for clinical data summarization, always incorporating undergraduate/graduate student researchers.
Publication trends reveal consistent focus on translating numerical methods into practical healthcare and ecological tools, with increasing emphasis on scalable models for real-time clinical decision support and community environmental monitoring.
