Joe Rusinko is a RusinkoJ n Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Hobart and William Smith Colleges.

Career Goal: Provide authentic research opportunities in mathematical phylogenetics which enable students to envision themselves as future mathematicians, statisticians, computer scientists and scientists. All students deserve the opportunity to be independent, to be challenged and to be supported. My goal is help foster a culture where interest, insight and effort rather than normative identities and cultural stereotypes determine who is included in the 21st century STEM community.

Research

While trained as an algebraic geometer, my research focus now primarily lies in mathematical phylogenetics. I am interested understanding how models of small scale evolution can be scaled to understand the evolution of large number of organisms. My research is currently funded by NSF grant DMS 1616186. See grants page for further details. I have been…

Students

The best part of my job is working with students on research projects. In the coming weeks I plan on developing this page to highlight some of their amazing accomplishments. Thanks to all of you! For now I simply list a few of their placements and accomplishments: Published twelve articles in peer reviewed journals (five…

Mathematics is more fun when you feel a part of a community and are exploring new opportunities. Mathematics Communities: which have had a very positive influence on me or those I know. If you don’t YET feel at home in the mathematics community I encourage you to check out these groups. SIAM Applied Algebraic Geometry…
