Jessica Striker's Homepage

I am a Research Associate in the Combinatorics Group at the University of Minnesota. I study algebraic and geometric combinatorics and am especially interested in alternating sign matrices and other combinatorial objects which relate to integrable models of statistical physics. I graduated in December 2008 from the University of Minnesota with my PhD in mathematics and wrote my dissertation under the direction of Dennis Stanton. In 2009, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Macalester College, and in 2010, I was an Adjunct Professor at Augsburg College. Now I'm happy to be back at the University of Minnesota.
