Elizabeth Spencer Allman (born 1965)[1] is an American mathematician. She is a professor of mathematics in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks; her research interests range from abstract algebra and algebraic statistics to biomathematics and phylogeny.[2]

Education

Allman earned her Ph.D. in 1995 from the University of California, Los Angeles under the supervision of Murray M. Schacher. Her dissertation, in abstract algebra, was Polynomials Without Roots in Division Algebras.[3]

Contributions

With her Fairbanks colleague John A. Rhodes, Allman is the author of a book on mathematical biology and mathematical modeling, Mathematical Models in Biology: An Introduction (Cambridge University Press, 2004).[4]

Recognition

In 2012, Allman became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[5]
