Education
Rangel Tracy graduated from Taft High School in San Antonio, Texas. She received her B.S in Mathematics, from University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 2008 and her Master's Degree in Mathematics in 2010.[2] She completed her doctoral work at The University of Texas Arlington in 2014 under the supervision of Dr. David A. Jorgensen. Her dissertation is titled "Representation Theory of Totally Reflexive Modules over Non-Gorenstein Rings".[3]
Research and Career
Rangel Tracy's doctoral dissertation focused on reflexive modules. She investigated the existence and abundance of them over non-Gorenstein rings.[2]
In 2014, Rangel Tracy worked a postdoctoral fellow at University of Texas, Arlington. She was later a postdoctoral fellow at Syracuse University. From 2016 to 2017 she was a visiting assistant professor at Manhattan College. [2] She then served as an visiting assistant professor at Central Connecticut State University before joining the Faculty at Fairleigh Dickinson University in 2019.
