Ryan Shifler, Ph.D.

About Me

I am the Associate Dean of the Henson School of Science and Technology and an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Salisbury University.

I am interested in quantum Schubert calculus, particularly, the study of quantum cohomology rings of non-homogeneous spaces.
