Dr. Casey Donoven, originally from Kremlin, MT, is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Montana State University Northern. After receiving a B.S. in Mathematics and a minor in Physics from MSU Bozeman, he went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland for a PhD in Mathematics. He then spent a year as a Senior Teaching Fellow at the University of Bristol in England and three years as a Riley Assistant Professor at Binghamton University in upstate New York.  

 

Casey's research interests are primarily in algebra, specifically geometric group theory and semigroup theory. His work in group theory includes studying Thompson's Group V, finite state automata, and generation of infinite simple groups. In semigroup theory, his focus has been on subsemigroup structure, including computation of maximal subsemigroups and coverings by subsemigroups.
