Katie Waddle
Mathematician, Teacher
I am currently at the University of Michigan in the fifth year of a Ph.D. in mathematics. I work in algebraic combinatorics with Dr. Sergey Fomin and co-organize our chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics. I am planning to graduate in the spring of 2026.
I am a founding (and current!) moderator of a world-wide Discord server for graduate students in all flavors of combinatorics. My co-organizers are Ashleigh Adams and Jodi McWhirter. Send any of us an email if you'd like to join!
I am a co-organizer of SUBgroups, which are online peer groups that support first-year math graduate students. You can read a recent article about our work here.
I completed a masters' degree at San Francisco State University where I led the Mathematistas club.
I taught algebra and geometry for 7 years at San Francisco International High School (go huskies!).
I hold a masters' degree in education from the STEP program at Stanford University.
