Summary
Woden Kusner is a mathematically rigorous director and educator with 11 years of experience bridging discrete geometry, geometric optimization, and computational experimentation. Currently Director of the Quantitative Resource Center at Lawrence University after faculty roles at Vanderbilt and the University of Georgia, he combines synthetic and analytic approaches with growing computational methods to tackle tractable yet deep geometric problems. He has a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Pittsburgh and a track record of building physical models of configuration spaces, reflecting a hands-on, creative bent toward abstract questions. Colleagues describe him as equally comfortable lecturing advanced topology and designing experiments that push brute-force computation into new territory.
