Satyan Devadoss

Satyan Linus Devadoss is a professor of mathematics at Williams College.[1] His research concerns topology and geometry, with inspiration coming from theoretical physics, phylogenetics, and scientific visualization.

Devadoss graduated as valedictorian from North Central College in 1993.[1] He earned his Ph.D. in mathematics in 1999 from Johns Hopkins University, under the supervision of Jack Morava.[1][2] After postdoctoral studies at the Ohio State University under Mike Davis, he joined the Williams College faculty in 2002.[1] He has held visiting positions at the University of California, Berkeley, the Ohio State University, the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, and Stanford University.[1]

With Joseph O'Rourke, Devadoss is the author of the textbook Discrete and Computational Geometry (Princeton University Press, 2011).[3][4] He is also the creator of Shape of Nature, a 36-lecture DVD course (Great Courses, 2010).

Devadoss is one of three 2007 winners of the Henry L. Alder National Teaching Award of the Mathematical Association of America.[5][6] In 2012, he became one of the inaugural Fellows of the American Mathematical Society.[7]
