Kristin Kuter

Kristin Kuter is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, Indiana, serving since 2015 after promotion from Assistant Professor (2009–2015).

Her academic credentials include:

• PhD, University of California, San Diego
• MA, University of California, San Diego
• BA, University of Wisconsin, Madison

Professor Kuter's research integrates advanced probability theory with socially impactful data analysis. She specializes in Brownian Motion dynamics—including harmonic functions on metric graphs and Walsh's Brownian motion—and applies statistical methodologies to educational equity studies, exemplified by her data analysis for The Status of Girls in Indiana 2013 report.

Her publication portfolio reveals a dual trajectory: rigorous theoretical contributions in top-tier mathematics journals and community-oriented data science work addressing gender disparities in education. This synergy underscores her commitment to both academic excellence and ethical real-world application.

Professor Kuter teaches across the mathematics curriculum including Calculus, Probability, Statistics, and Stochastic Models, while mentoring students through projects like the Indiana girls' status report. Her professional engagement spans the American Mathematical Society, American Statistical Association, and Institute of Mathematical Statistics, reflecting deep community involvement.
