Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics
Dr. Isaac Dobes obtained his Ph.D. in Mathematics from North Carolina State University in May 2025. His dissertation was on the classification and quantification of entangled multipartite quantum states. He primarily utilized multilinear/hypermatrix algebra and enumerative combinatorics in his research. Dr. Dobes is excited to start his new position as Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Berry College and is eager to mentor talented and ambitious students.
Education
- Ph.D. in Mathematics from North Carolina State University
- M.A. in Mathematics from North Carolina State University
- B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Pittsburgh
Teaching Interests
I enjoy teaching all levels of mathematics. This is my first position after graduate school, so my pedagogy is still evolving, but I am always open to new ideas/suggestions on how to enhance student engagement and understanding both in and out of the classroom.
Research Interests
- Quantum computation and information, with particular interest in the mathematical aspects of quantum entanglement
- Tensor/multilinear/hypermatrix algebra
- Combinatorics and discrete math more broadly
- Lie algebra representation theory
