The Department of Mathematics welcomes its new tenure track faculty member: Caroline Terry.
Terry is originally from Omaha, Nebraska. She received her PhD from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) in 2016 under the direction of professors David Marker and Dhruv Mubayi. After UIC, she spent two years as a Brin Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Maryland at College Park, and then two years as an L. E. Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago, where she received a BS in mathematics in 2010. In addition, Terry spent a semester at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing where she was a participant in their thematic program on pseudorandomness.
Terry joined our department’s logic group in autumn 2020, with connections to our combinatorics and probability group. Her research interests are in model theory and finite combinatorics. Model theory is a branch of mathematical logic with applications to extremal and additive combinatorics.
Terry has been involved with the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM). While at UIC, she was the co-organizer of the UIC Chapter of AWM, and in 2018 she received an AWM Mentoring Travel Grant.
