About the editors
Leslie Hogben is a Professor of Mathematics and Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Faculty Development at Iowa State University, and the Associate Director for Diversity at the American Institute of Mathematics. She received her B.A. from Swarthmore College in 1974, and her Ph.D. in 1978 from Yale University under the direction of Nathan Jacobson. Although originally working in nonassociative algebras, in the mid-1990s she changed her focus to linear algebra, especially combinatorial matrix theory and spectral graph theory, and in the past ten years has become more involved in graph theory. Dr. Hogben is the author of more than 100 research papers and is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the Association for Women in Mathematics. She is the editor of Handbook of Linear Algebra, an advisory editor of Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra, and an associate editor of Linear Algebra and its Applications and is a frequent co-organizer of meetings, workshops, and special sessions/mini-symposia, including the 2017 International Linear Algebra Society Conference. She particularly enjoys introducing students to mathematical research. She has advised or is advising 5 postdoctoral associates, 22 doctoral students, 19 masters students, and 40 undergraduate researchers and is the PI of the NSF-sponsored Research Training Group in combinatorics at ISU and was formerly the PI of the ISU Math REU.
Sandra R. Kingan is an Associate Professor at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Her research lies at the intersection of combinatorics and geometry. She has published papers in matroid theory, graph theory, and combinatorial algorithms and her work is supported by theNational Science Foundation. Her book "Graphs and Networks" blends classical graph theory with modern network science and is available for preorder. She earned a BS from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai, India and a PhD from Louisiana State University. She is a co-organizer of the Women in Graph Theory Research Network, a Math Alliance mentor and an International Mathematical Union's Committee for Women ambassador for North America.
Gretchen L. Matthews is a Professor of Mathematics at Virginia Tech and Director of the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative Southwest Virginia. She is affiliated faculty with Virginia Tech’s Hume Center for National Security & Technology and Computational Modeling & Data Analytics program. Her research is in applied algebra, with a focus on coding theory and cryptography and applications in data storage, protection, and privacy. She is an AWM Fellow, in recognition of her efforts to broaden participation in mathematics. She earned a BS fromOklahoma State University and a PhD from Louisiana State University, both in Mathematics. She spent time as a postdoc at University of Tennessee and on the faculty at Clemson University before joining Virginia Tech.
