Edward Richmond is an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Mathematics at Oklahoma State University. He previously held postdoctoral positions at the University of British Columbia (2010-2014) and the University of Oregon (2008-2010), and earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2008 under Prakash Belkale. His academic career includes roles such as Teaching Fellow (2002-2008) and Math Help Center Director (2006-2007) at UNC. Research Interests: His work focuses on algebraic combinatorics, algebraic geometry, Lie theory, and representation theory. Key research themes include Coxeter groups, Schubert varieties, billey-postnikov decompositions, and applications to geometric and combinatorial problems. He has contributed to understanding isomorphism problems in Schubert varieties, noncommutative coefficients, and smoothness criteria for algebraic structures. Recent Publications: Recent studies explore permutation pattern avoidance, cominuscule Schubert varieties, and nil-Hecke rings. These papers highlight collaborations with researchers like S. Oh, T. Grigsby, and K. Zainoulline, with applications to Young's lattice, Springer fibers, and affine flag varieties. Academic Service: Richmond has co-organized numerous special sessions at conferences, including topics in combinatorics, Lie theory, and Schubert calculus. He has also contributed to course design, such as Math 3933: Introduction to Research Methods at OSU, and participated in outreach activities like Math Mania and ELMACON.
