Mike Loper is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin–River Falls with nine years of experience bridging research, teaching, and applied computation. His research focuses on commutative algebra and algebraic geometry with a combinatorial bent, and he actively mentors students pursuing actuarial science. Mike earned his PhD at the University of Minnesota after a strong undergraduate record and has a history of hands-on computational work—ranging from Maple-based algebra classification to Python/C optimizations during a scientific libraries internship at Cray. He has led undergraduate and graduate-level calculus instruction and coordinated assessment and curriculum delivery as a long-term teaching assistant. Comfortable coding for research and performance-sensitive applications, he brings together rigorous theoretical insight and practical computational skill. Based in River Falls, WI, he combines conference-presented research experience with a demonstrated commitment to student development and collaborative projects.
