Education

Helen Grundman earned her PhD in 1989 from the University of California, Berkeley, under the supervision of P. Emery Thomas. [2]

Employment

After receiving her PhD, Grundman spent two years as a C. L. E. Moore instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She became a professor at Bryn Mawr College in 1991. In 2016, Grundman was named as the inaugural Director of Education and Diversity for the American Mathematical Society. [3]

Research

In 1994, Grundman proved that sequences of more than 2n consecutive Harshad numbers in base n do not exist. [G94]

Honors

In 2017, Grundman was selected as a fellow of the Association for Women in Mathematics in the inaugural class. [4]
