Allison Henrich
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Allison Henrich (born 1980)[1] is an American mathematician specializing in knot theory and also interested in undergraduate-level mathematics research mentorship. She is a professor of mathematics at Seattle University.[2]
Henrich entered college planning for an undergraduate teaching career,[3] graduating in 2003 from the University of Washington with a double major in mathematics and philosophy. She completed a Ph.D. at Dartmouth College in 2008.[2] Her dissertation, A Sequence of Degree One Vassiliev Invariants for Virtual Knots, was supervised by Vladimir Chernov.[4] At Dartmouth, Carolyn S. Gordon became another faculty mentor.[3]
She joined the Seattle University mathematics faculty in 2009,[2] and was promoted to full professor in 2019.[5]
Books
Henrich is the coauthor of a book on knot theory, An Interactive Introduction to Knot Theory (with Inga Johnson, Dover Publications, 2017). She also coauthored the book A Mathematician’s Practical Guide to Mentoring Undergraduate Research (with Michael Dorff and Lara Pudwell, Mathematical Association of America, American Mathematical Society, and Council on Undergraduate Research, 2019).[6]
With Emille D. Lawrence, Matthew Pons, and David Taylor, she co-edited the book Living Proof: Stories of Resilience Along the Mathematical Journey (American Mathematical Society and Mathematical Association of America, 2019).[7] She is also an editor of Knots, Links, Spatial Graphs, and Algebraic Invariants (with Erica Flapan, Aaron Kaestner, and Sam Nelson, American Mathematical Society, 2017).
