Jennifer Chubb

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of San Francisco in the Department of Mathematics. My general research area is logic and recursion (or computability) theory, and I have a particular interest in computable structure theory.

I hold a B.S. in Physics and Applied Mathematics, and an M.S. in Applied Mathematics from George Mason University. While pursuing those degrees, I worked in experimental physics and studied chaos and nonlinear dynamics. I received my Ph.D. from George Washington University, where I studied logic and computability theory in the Department of Mathematics.

I'm on the Organizing Committee for the next North American Annual Meeting of the Association For Symbolic Logic. There will be lots of great talks, and plenty of wonderful things to see in our capital city... there's nothing like Washington at Cherry Blossom time!

During the USF Fall Break, I went to UT–Dallas to do some math & give a talk. It was good times.

I am absolutely THRILLED to be joining the Department of Mathematics at the University of San Francisco beginning in the Fall of 2009. I'm teaching these courses, and having a wonderful time with two excellent groups of students.

June 1–12 was intense, but we all survived! Math Immersion is intensive training for aspiring secondary math teachers participating in the DC Teaching Fellows program. Last year's program was a success, and I can't wait to hear what this year's Fellows accomplish! (Keep in touch, you guys.)

I am happy to report that our meeting for D.C. area mathematics graduate students, DCMGSM, was a terrific success. We were pleased to have student participants from six universities including George Washington, George Mason, the University of Maryland, Howard, Georgetown, and Queens College–CUNY, along with our keynote speaker (Jane Gilman of Rutgers and the National Science Foundation), and panelists from GWU, NSF, National Institute of Health, Towers Perrin–Tillinghast, and The New School of Northern Virgina.
