Senior🎓
Top SchoolSilviana Amethyst is a research engineer and visualizing computational mathematician with 15 years of experience applying numerical algebraic geometry to scientific software, data science, and mathematical visualization. Currently at MPI-CBG in Dresden after a faculty career at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, she bridges rigorous research, teaching excellence, and production-quality Python/C++ tooling (notably contributions to Bertini-related projects). Her work spans developing algorithms for real and complex algebraic varieties, 3D printing mathematical objects, and translating deep mathematical ideas into striking visual art. Trained with a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Colorado State University, she combines DARPA-funded scientific software experience with a knack for making abstract geometry both computationally tractable and visually compelling.
