Suzanne Ingrid Dorée is a professor of mathematics at Augsburg University, where she is also chair of the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science,[1]. She is chair of the Congress of the Mathematical Association of America and, as such, serves on its board of directors and the Section Visitors Program (Invited Speakers).[2] Her doctoral research concerned group theory;[3] she has also published in mathematics education.

Education and career

Dorée grew up near New York City, and did her undergraduate studies at the University of Delaware.[1] She joined the Augsburg university faculty in 1989,[4] and did her graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. She completed her Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1996; her dissertation, supervised by Martin Isaacs, was Subgroups with the Character Restriction Property and Normal Complements.[3]

Recognition

In 2004, Dorée won a Distinguished Teaching Award from the Mathematical Association of America.[1][5] In 2019, Dorée won a Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award from the Mathematical Association of America. [6]

gollark: I'm sure I read about the sphere packing thingy being investigated in higher dimensions, if not packing in general.
gollark: Can you do better if you can use multiple shapes together?
gollark: Space bees actually just use a sphere.
gollark: And SOME packing.
gollark: They are better for SOME games.
