ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ

Dr. Boddie earned a Ph.D. in 2019 from the ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ of Wisconsin-Milwaukee after taking a couple year break after earning a M.S. to teach high school. Dr. Boddie's dissertation research was on a new variation of a classical problem using cellular automata – the Firing Squad Synchronization Problem. She enjoys many areas of mathematics and was focused on pure mathematics, in particular algebra, through her M.S. and then switched to applied mathematics during her Ph.D. She enjoys seeing how different areas of mathematics can come together.

Teaching is a big focus of hers – one of her favorite things is helping a ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ who feels that they cannot survive a math class actually understand and appreciate the material. She enjoys teaching a variety of math classes and hopes to get involved with undergraduate research here at UL Lafayette.
