Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolParker Edwards is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Florida Atlantic University with 11 years of experience applying computational topology, algebraic geometry, and machine learning to high-dimensional data. He develops open-source software that translates advanced mathematical tools into practical solutions for microbiology, computer vision, robotics motion planning, and geospatial analyses used in redistricting. Parker’s work blends rigorous research—born from a PhD at the University of Florida and an MS from Oxford—with extensive teaching, where he integrates Python, Jupyter, and data analysis libraries into undergraduate and graduate curricula. He has a strong track record of communicating research broadly, with dozens of conference presentations and mentorship of undergraduate projects that cross math and public policy. Less obvious: he pairs theoretical depth with hands-on engineering early in his career, having built web-scraping and license-tracking tools during an IBM internship, which informs his pragmatic approach to research software.
