Her research is in the areas of differential and difference equations and dynamical systems, with a focus on their applications to mathematical biology.

Early life, education, and career

Bañuelos was born Selenne Hayde Torres-Garcia to Alex Garcia and Georgina Torres, Mexican immigrants who raised her in the community of Boyle Heights, east of downtown Los Angeles.[2][3] earned her B.S. degree in mathematics from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2007.[3] She was awarded a Ph.D. in applied mathematics from the University of Southern California (USC) in 2013. Her dissertation Structured two-stage population model with migration between multiple locations in a periodic environment was supervised by Robert John Sacker.[4][2] During her doctoral studies at USC, she was presented with the Department of Mathematics Denis Ray Estes Graduate Teaching Prize. She was a co-founder of the USC chapter of SACNAS.[3] Bañuelos was part of the SACNAS Chapter Leadership Institute Alumni for her work at USC.[5]

Bañuelos joined the faculty at California State University Channel Islands in 2014 as an assistant professor of mathematics. She is currently an associate professor of mathematics. She is co-advisor to the SACNAS chapter at Channel Islands, a mentor for Math Alliance[6], and a mentor and advisor for the CSU Alliance PUMP (Preparing Undergraduates through Mentoring towards PhDs) Program.[7]

In 2014, Bañuelos was a Linton Poodry SACNAS Leadership Institute fellow [8] and in 2015, she was a Project NExT, New Experiences in Teaching, fellow.[3]

In 2018, Bañuelos was featured on the Lathisms calendar.[3] In 2020, she received the Mathematical Association of America Henry L. Alder Award for Distinguished Teaching.[9][10] She is included in deck 2 of EvenQuads which is a series of playing card decks that feature notable women mathematicians published by the Association of Women in Mathematics.[11]
