Keisha Cook, Ph.D

Assistant ProfessoR - CLemson UNIVERSITY

Through mathematics, programming, and data-driven applications, I contribute to STEM education and teach students how powerful, practical, and creative math can be. Through teaching, research, outreach, and mentorship, I work to make mathematics accessible and engaging while expanding participation among women, underrepresented communities, and K–12 students. My goal is to connect math to the questions that matter today, and to inspire students to see themselves as mathematicians, scientists, and problem-solvers.
