Naiomi Cameron

Naiomi Cameron is an American-born mathematician working in the field of combinatorics. She is an associate professor at Spelman College as well as the vice president of National Association of Mathematicians.[1][2] She was previously an associate professor at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR. [3]

Cameron was born in Washington, D.C. and raised in Providence, Rhode Island. She attended Howard University for her undergraduate and graduate school, receiving both her B.S. and  PhD in Mathematics.[1][4] In 2019, she was featured on Mathematically Gifted and Black as a Black History Month 2019 Honoree.[4]

Research

Cameron's academic work has been focused on enumerative and algebraic combinatorics and number theory. Her thesis for her dissertation in 2002 was Random Walks, Trees and Extensions of Riordan Group Techniques.[1] Her other publications include:

  • N. Cameron, K. Killpatrick, Inversion polynomials for permutations avoiding consecutive patterns, Advances in Applied Mathematics 67 (2015), 20–35.[5]
  • N. Cameron, K. Killpatrick, Symmetry and log-concavity results for statistics on Fibonacci tableaux, Annals of Combinatorics, 17 (2013), no. 4, 603-618.[6]

Additional work

Cameron is the vice president of the National Association of Mathematicians for the 2019–2020 term.[2]

gollark: There are *low-cost* ones.
gollark: Rust's pretty fast and has the neat safety thing going on.
gollark: Or you could just use high*er* level languages which make it somewhat harder to randomly corrupt memory or whatever.
gollark: Probably, but at least the logic errors generally lead to "oops that does not work correctly I must now fix it" instead of "oh look, the application is now vulnerable to remote code execution".
gollark: I doubt they can actually pick up on all the exciting variety of memory corruption bugs and such.
