Samantha Pezzimenti

I am an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Widener University who is passionate about math accessibility and outreach. I earned by Ph.D. in mathematics from Bryn Mawr College under the advisement of Lisa Traynor. My research interests range from Legendrian Knot Theory to Mathematical Art.

Here is my CV, updated November 2024.
