Patrick Rault
Dr. Patrick Rault is the Haddix Community Chair of Mathematics at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and has previously served at the University of Arizona and at SUNY Geneseo. He earned his Ph.D. in 2008 at the University of Wisconsin, and he is currently serving as chair of both the Council on Undergraduate Research Division of Mathematics and Computer Science and the Undergraduate Research Special Interest Group of the Mathematical Association of America in the hope that a close relationship will be formed between the two organizations. While at the University of Arizona, Dr. Rault served as the team lead for a CUR Transformations Project grant to scaffold undergraduate research into lab science curricula; he is now piloting several initiatives to lead up to a similar project in mathematics and computer science. Dr. Rault also serves as Associate Director of the Center for Undergraduate Research in Mathematics and as Special Projects Coordinator for communities for the Academy of Inquiry-Based Learning.
