Emily Sergel

Emily Sergel is an Assistant Teaching Professor at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, serving as the Undergraduate Advisor for the Department of Mathematics. She holds a PhD from the University of California, San Diego (2016), advised by Adriano Garsia. Her research focuses on algebraic combinatorics, including symmetric functions and Macdonald polynomials. She teaches courses like Math 103 and Math 300, with Spring 2022 responsibilities highlighted. Office hours are conducted via Zoom and in-person 'on demand.' Advising is managed through email or phone scheduling.

• Education: PhD in Mathematics (2016), UC San Diego; NSF Graduate Research Fellow

Research emphasizes advanced combinatorial structures, particularly operator theory in symmetric functions. Her work bridges theoretical mathematics with pedagogical innovation in undergraduate education. Notable recognitions include the AWM Dissertation Prize and NSF postdoctoral support.

• Awards: AWM Dissertation Prize (2017), NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship, Project NExT Fellow

Teaching responsibilities include foundational courses for liberal arts and mathematical reasoning. Advising coordination occurs remotely via structured communication channels. Her office (Hill 211) supports both virtual and limited in-person consultations.
