Biography
[edit]Cook was born in the suburbs just outside Marietta, Georgia.[1] After receiving her bachelor of science from the University of Alabama for applied mathematics she then began work on her Masters of Arts, which she completed in 2016.[2][3]
Education and research
[edit]Cook received her Ph.D. in 2019 for Applied Mathematics and Computational Biology at the University of Alabama under the supervision of Rodger B. Sidje; her thesis concerned parallel stochastic simulation of biochemical reaction systems.[4] She held a postdoctoral position jointly at Tulane University and the Southeast Center for Mathematics and Biology.[5]
Awards and honors
[edit]In 2021 Cook was a part of a team that received a $3,799 grant to fund their Math for All conference.[6] Later the same year a $49,951 for the annual Math for All conference was granted to the same team.[7] In 2022 Dr. Cook received a grant from the Clemson University research fellows for $150,000.[8]
Cook has been invited to many talks including a two part talk series at the University of Alabama in 2020, and a collaborative AWM and AMS meeting in 2021.[9][10]
In 2022 Cook was awarded a Mathematically Gifted & Black SIAM Early Career Fellowship.[11]
In 2024, Cook was named a Gilliam Advisor to Gilliam Fellow Jakini Kauba. They were one of 50 mentor/student pairs taking part in a prestigious program recognizing outstanding advisor/graduate student partnerships organized by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.[12]
