Caitlyn Parmelee

Caitlyn joined the Math Department at Keene State College in 2016 after receiving her PhD in Mathematics from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. She is an applied mathematician working in mathematical neuroscience. She works with students at Keene State and collaborators at Brown University and the University of Northern Colorado studying how the structure of neural networks affects network behavior.
