HAMMOND – Zach Teitler, assistant professor of mathematics at Southeastern Louisiana University, has been selected as a participant in the prestigious national program, Project NExT.
Project NExT (New Experiences in Teaching) draws from new or recent doctoral degree recipients who are interested in improving the teaching and learning methods of undergraduate mathematics. Approximately 80 fellows are chosen annually.
Teitler, who joined the mathematics faculty last year, is the fourth Southeastern professor to have been chosen for the program. Associate professor Kent Neuerberg was selected in 1999, while former mathematics faculty members Jonathan Hatch and Katherine Roegner served as NExT fellows in 2001.
Fellows who participate in Project NexT attend national workshops and meetings and network with other mathematicians who share their interest and concerns about balancing teaching, research, and professional service. The Mathematical Association of America links the fellows throughout the country via an electronic network.
Teitler participated in Project NExT workshops in Knoxville, Tenn., August 7-12, in conjunction with the national conference of the Mathematics Association of America. He will attend additional workshops in New Orleans in January and in San Jose, Calif., next August.
A California native, Teitler received his bachelor’s degree from the University of California Santa Barbara in 2000 and doctorate in 2005 from the University of Michigan. His research interest is algebraic geometry.
