Biography
Dr. Erin Militzer received her Bachelor of Science in Mathematics at Central Michigan University in 2004. In the summer of 2004, Erin was an EDGE (Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education) Fellow at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia. She entered graduate school at the University of Kentucky in the fall of 2004. During her tenure at UK, she received a fellowship through the National Science Foundation as an Algebra Cubed Fellow. Her thesis is in Complex Analysis and her advisor was Dr. James Brennan. In 2010, Erin joined the Mathematics Department at the University of Arizona as a Teaching Postdoctoral Fellow. In the summer of 2012, she was a faculty mentor for an NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates project at Central Michigan University called "Cops and Robbers on Graphs." Erin was promoted to Associate Professor in 2017 and earned Tenure in 2019.
