Jessica Striker's Homepage

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. I study enumerative, algebraic, and geometric combinatorics and am especially interested in alternating sign matrices and other combinatorial objects which relate to statistical physics models. In 2009, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science department at Macalester College. In 2010, I taught in the Mathematics Department at Augsburg College. And this year I'm happy to be back at the University of Minnesota.

Curriculum Vitae

Research Interests

Enumerative, algebraic, geometric, and bijective combinatorics; integrable models of statistical physics

Publications

• Recent joint work with Nathan Williams: Promotion and rowmotion
• Another recent paper: A direct bijection between descending plane partitions with no special parts and permutation matrices is in Discrete Mathematics.
• The paper I presented at FPSAC'09: The poset perspective on alternating sign matrices. The complete version of this paper, "A unifying poset perpective on alternating sign matrices, plane partitions, Catalan objects, tournaments, and tableaux", is in Advances in Applied Mathematics.
• The paper I presented at FPSAC'07, published in The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics: The alternating sign matrix polytope.
• My PhD thesis: Poset and polytope perspectives on alternating sign matrices.
