The Man

The Myth

The Mac

I'm Sam Macdonald, a fifth year doctoral candidate at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln pursuing a Ph.D. in mathematics. I'm advised by Yvonne Lai, received an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship in the Spring of 2023, and am on the job market this year!

My research in undergraduate mathematics education focuses on equity gaps and mathematical identity shifts among marginalized populations in first-year mathematics courses. I am also active in the prison education community and work to expand access to mathematics behind bars.

Outside of math (but often intersecting it) I write speclulative fiction under the name Sam E. Sutin. When I'm not writing, you can probably find me climbing, reading, or neglecting my cats (and new puppy).
