Welcome to Jessica Striker's website

I am a visiting assistant professor in the Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science department at Macalester College. I graduated in 2008 from the University of Minnesota with my PhD in mathematics and wrote my dissertation under the direction of Dennis Stanton. I study enumerative, algebraic, and geometric combinatorics and am especially interested in alternating sign matrices and other combinatorial objects which relate to statistical physics models.
