Kenneth W. McMurdy is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the School of Theoretical and Applied Science (TAS) at Ramapo College of New Jersey. He joined the college in 2007 and teaches courses in Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, Cryptography, and Stochastic Calculus for Finance.
- Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley (2001), advised by Robert Coleman.
- M.A. and B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Rochester.
His research focuses on algebraic number theory, modular forms, elliptic curves, and Galois representations. He has extensively studied the stable reduction of modular curves and the arithmetic of supersingular elliptic curves. His work includes computing explicit equations for modular curves and analyzing isogeny graphs between supersingular elliptic curves.
McMurdy collaborates with researchers like Nathan Jones on non-abelian entanglements in elliptic curves and with Lloyd Kilford on slopes of Hecke operators in overconvergent modular forms.
He has presented at conferences such as the Maine-Quebec Number Theory Conference and the Heilbronn Workshop on Computations with Modular Forms. His research is supported by computational tools like SageMath, evidenced by his shared code for endomorphism ring computations.
