Dr. Sarah Klanderman is a mathematics professor at Marian University College of Arts and Sciences. She is an algebraic topologist and completed her doctoral work at Michigan State University on computational tools for studying topological coHochschild homology. Her other research interests include bridging mathematics with other disciplines and working with undergraduate research students on connections between number sequences and graph theory. Dr. Klanderman is a Mathematical Association of America Project NExT fellow and joined the math department at Marian in 2020.
Her algebraic topology work focuses on (topological) (co)Hochschild homology computations and connections to algebraic K-theory.
Her math education work focuses on connecting student learning to other disciplines, supporting underrepresented groups in STEM, and student understanding of proof.
In both her service and scholarship grant work, she is passionate about providing undergraduate students opportunities to engage in mathematical research, supporting underrepresented groups in STEM, and valuing and promoting inclusive teaching. At Marian these efforts have included her role as HHMI ie3 Grant Program Director and as S-STEM Grant co-PI.
