Susan H. Marshall, Ph.D.

I grew up in southern Maryland, on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. I attended Wake Forest University in North Carolina, where I majored in Mathematics and minored in Psychology. After graduating in 1993, I spent a brief stint as a data analyst for the Hubble Space Telescope at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland before heading to graduate school at the University of Arizona. I studied Arithmetic Geometry with Minhyong Kim and earned my doctorate in 2001. After graduate school, I spent three years in a postdoctoral position at the University of Texas at Austin.

I joined the faculty of Monmouth University in 2004. After nearly a decade at large, public research institutions, I am thrilled to have found my forever academic home in an institution more like my undergraduate alma mater – where students and faculty have the opportunity to really get to know one another. I enjoy living at the Jersey shore with my husband and colleague, Dr. David Marshall, and our two children, Gillian and Dylan.
