Gun Violence: Actuarial Analysis and Mathematical Modeling

Location: 117 Hayes-Healy (View on map )

As part of the Delahanty Family Endowment for Excellence in Mathematics, Kristen Moore an associate professor of mathematics and the associate chair for education in the Mathematics Department at the University of Michigan, will talk about gun violence from a mathematical perspective.

She holds a bachelor's in mathematics from Bucknell University and a master's and doctorate in Mathematics from the University of Connecticut. She also passed the series of professional examinations that lead to the Associate of the Society of Actuaries (ASA) designation. Dr. Moore’s research focuses on qualitative and quantitative properties of solutions to differential equations and free-boundary problems that arise in actuarial and financial mathematics.
