Education and career

Ellis-Monaghan grew up in Alaska. [1] She graduated from Bennington College in 1984 with a double major in mathematics and studio art, and earned a master's degree in mathematics from the University of Vermont in 1986. After beginning a doctoral program at Dartmouth College, she transferred to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she completed her Ph.D. in 1995. [2] Her dissertation, supervised by Jim Stasheff, was A unique, universal graph polynomial and its Hopf algebraic properties, with applications to the Martin polynomial. [2] [3]

She joined the Saint Michael's College faculty in 1992, [2] chaired the department there, [1] and has also held positions at the University of Vermont. [2] In 2020 she became professor of Discrete Mathematics at the University of Amsterdam. [4]

Contributions

With Iain Moffat, Ellis-Monaghan is the author of the book Graphs on Surfaces: Dualities, Polynomials, and Knots (Springer, 2013). [5]

From 2010-2020, she served as Editor-in-Chief of PRIMUS , a journal on the teaching of undergraduate mathematics. [6]
