Keisha Cook is an assistant professor for the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at Clemson University.
Cook was born in the suburbs just outside Marietta, Georgia. [1] After receiving her bachelor of science from the University of Alabama for applied mathematics she then began work on her Masters of Arts, which she completed in 2016. [2] [3]
Cook received her Ph.D. in 2019 for Applied Mathematics and Computational Biology at the University of Alabama under the supervision of Rodger B. Sidje; her thesis concerned parallel stochastic simulation of biochemical reaction systems. [4] She held a postdoctoral position jointly at Tulane University and the Southeast Center for Mathematics and Biology. [5]
In 2021 Cook was a part of a team that received a $3,799 grant to fund their Math for All conference. [6] Later the same year a $49,951 for the annual Math for All conference was granted to the same team. [7] In 2022 Dr. Cook received a grant from the Clemson University research fellows for $150,000. [8]
Cook has been invited to many talks including a two part talk series at the University of Alabama in 2020, and a collaborative AWM and AMS meeting in 2021. [9] [10]
In 2022 Cook was awarded a Mathematically Gifted & Black SIAM Early Career Fellowship. [11]
