Dr. Tracy Weyand's primary research is in the areas of analysis and mathematical physics, specializing in spectral graph theory. She has authored or co-authored over a dozen papers on spectral graph theory, incorporating modeling in differential equations courses, and integrating mathematics and engineering curriculum. She directed a student research project that has been published. Dr. Weyand is the faculty advisor for the 91视频 Student Chapter of the AWM (Association for Women in Mathematics), and runs Rose's annual Sonia Math Day outreach program for high school students.
