Ellen Eischen

Ellen Eischen is a professor of mathematics at the University of Oregon. While she has broad interests, her research especially focuses on number theory. Her research contributions especially concern algebraic and p-adic aspects of automorphic forms and L-functions. In addition to her research, Dr. Eischen also contributes significant efforts towards broadening participation in math and engaging with broader communities. She has created workshops to train faculty and students in principles of improvisation for engaging with broader audiences, organized the Creativity Counts exhibit at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art to share a creative side of math with the broader public, and developed the APAW workshop to facilitate diverse research collaborations. The impact of her museum-focused work continues both through her service on the Advisory Board of the newly forming Seattle Universal Math Museum and through the online version of Creativity Counts, which quickly became the JSMA's most visited virtual exhibit. Eischen serves on the editorial boards of Essential Number Theory and Research in Number Theory. In recognition of some of her contributions, she was recently named a Fellow of the AWM. Support for her activities has included an NSF CAREER Award, several other NSF research grants, and the Williams Fund.

Dr. Eischen has been a member of the PIMS SRP since 2023.
