David Glickenstein received his Ph.D. in 2003 from the University of California, San Diego. Aside from a short stint at MIT, he has been at University of Arizona ever since. Dave's research revolves around geometric flows, both in the setting of Riemannian geometry and in the setting of discrete/computational geometry. He enjoys good hikes, bad jokes, and cheering on his favorite sports teams (Phillies, Eagles, Cornell hockey, and especially his 3-year old daughter's tee-ball team, the Sand Gnats). Dave will be the director of the program, but don't hold it against him.
Andrea Young received her Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in 2008. She is currently a VIGRE post-doc at the University of Arizona and will be acting as deputy director for the Arizona Summer Program. Andrea's research interests are in geometric flows. In her spare time, she performs improv comedy with Tucson troupe Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed , sings in musicals (like Godspell this spring), and hikes the mountains of Tucson with her dog.
Tracy Payne received her Ph.D. in 1995 from the University of Michigan. After postdocs at
Washington University in St. Louis and the Ecole Normale Superieure in Lyon, France,
she came to Idaho State University in Pocatello, where she is now a tenured associate
professor. Her research is on geometric and dynamical problems of algebraic origin.
In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, knitting, reading, and taking advantage of Idaho's
beautiful outdoors for hiking, biking, skiing, and camping.
Born and raised in east Tennessee, Michael Jablonski attended the University of Tennessee graduating in 2002 with a B.S. in Mathematics. In 2008, Michael received his Ph.D. under the direction of Pat Eberlein from the University of North Carolina. At Carolina, Michael's work focused on the geometry of Lie groups and associated questions in real geometric invariant theory. He is currently a post-doc at the University of Oklahoma.
In addition to good mathematics, Michael enjoys rock climbing and hiking.
