Dr. Loney, currently a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Binghamton University (one of his alma maters), earned BA and MA degrees in Mathematics from SUNY Potsdam in 2001 and 2003 respectively. He was quite engaged as a member of the campus community; working in the Math Lab, participating in CSTEP, and promoting school spirit as a cheerleader, among other activities and clubs that he was involved in.  

He earned a PhD, also in Mathematics, from Binghamton University in 2012. His dissertation research investigated representations of affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras, using techniques from vertex operator algebra theory and character theory.  This type of mathematics has applications in string theory and theoretical physics. 

After reflecting on his experiences in the classroom, both as a student and as an educator, Dr. Loney decided to dedicate his career to teaching mathematics rather than creating and provingnew theorems. He held a position for a number of years in the Learning Strategies Center at Cornell University, before returning to Binghamton in his current role. 

In addition to teaching, Dr. Loney has made significant contributions to the academic community at large. From 2016 to 2020 he served on the AP Calculus Development Committee, the group of mathematicians that write the AB and BC Exams, taken annually by approximately half a million students worldwide. He also travels to Kansas City each summer to help with the enormous task of grading the exams. He currently serves as a reviewer for the SAT Exams, and is an AP Precalculus Visiting Fellow.
