Biography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Mann received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Arkansas in 2001. Prior to joining the faculty at UW Bothell, Dr. Mann was a faculty member at the University of Texas at Tyler for 11 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a cofounder of the UW Bothell Mathematics REU site, Dr. Mann is active in engaging undergraduate students in research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Mann\u2019s areas of research include discrete and computational geometry. In particular, he is interested in tilings of 2-D and 3-D Euclidean space, tilings in non-Euclidean spaces, and applications of tilings to self-assembly. He is also interested in discrete lattice knots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summer 2015, a tiling theory research result involving an undergraduate and now UW alum, David Von Derau, and colleague, Jennifer McLoud-Mann, caught much media attention as well as attention from the mathematics community; after 30 years since the last major result, they discovered the 15th pentagon to tile the plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
