Judy Holdener joined Kenyon’s faculty in 1997 after spending three years at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Her scholarly interests span algebra, number theory and dynamical systems, and she co-authors research papers on these subjects with undergraduates. More recently Holdener has tapped into a life-long interest in art, creating digital and 3D-printed artwork that reflects the nature and beauty of mathematics. She has given national and international presentations about this work. In 2008, Holdener was awarded the Mathematical Association of America Ohio Section Distinguished Teaching Award and in 2003, she was awarded Kenyon’s Tomsich Science Award as well as the Board of Trustees Junior Teaching Award.
