It was named one of the top 100 discoveries in 2015 by Discover Magazine.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tMcLoud-Mann and Mann, also an associate professor, had been working on the pentagon tiling problem since arriving at UW Bothell in 2013. McLoud-Mann received her doctorate in mathematics from the University of Arkansas in 2002. She established the first National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates at UW Bothell.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tIt&rsquo;s exciting to include undergraduates in research and show them that mathematics is not some set of boring rules, but a dynamic field of study with fascinating frontiers, she says.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\t&ldquo;Teaching and researching in an environment where faculty feel supported and encouraged to engage with undergraduate students in such meaningful ways is a very powerful thing,&rdquo; she says.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\t&quot;I am honored to be recognized by this award,&quot; McLoud-Mann says. &quot;I have the privilege of introducing students to research and sharing with them the beauty of mathematics and the excitement of discovery. I believe that such experiences are impactful, and I am grateful that research with undergraduates is valued at UW Bothell.&quot;<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tChancellor Wolf Yeigh says McLoud-Mann exemplifies the integration of outstanding scholarship, impact on global communities and impact on the UW Bothell community, especially our students.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\t&ldquo;The UW Bothell tiling team&rsquo;s discovery is inspiring to our students and to all of us in that it shows that a small group of dedicated individuals can make important discoveries,&rdquo; Yeigh says. &ldquo;We should also mention that Dr. McLoud-Mann&rsquo;s success serves as an inspiring example of the role of women and other under-represented groups in STEM.&rdquo;<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tThe DRSCA is presented each year to a UW Bothell faculty member in recognition of scholarly or creative achievement that exemplifies the standards of excellence that are required by the research intensive education environment of University of Washington Bothell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\n\tThe University of Washington Bothell has selected Jennifer McLoud-Mann to receive the 2016 Distinguished Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity award.
