Samantha Pezzimenti earned a B.S. in mathematics from Ramapo College of New Jersey, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in mathematics from Bryn Mawr College. Dr. Pezzimenti’s primary research interests are in topology, a branch of math that studies properties of shapes that are preserved after deformation or stretching. In particular, she studies Legendrian knots, which are knots that satisfy certain geometric conditions which restrict their shape. She also enjoys the visual and artistic side of math, and has contributed artwork to the Mathematical Art Exhibits at the Joint Mathematics Meetings. Dr. Pezzimenti is dedicated to mathematics outreach and has been involved in several programs to promote interest in mathematics among K-12 students.
