Amanda Lohss

Dr. Mandy Lohss joined the Department of Mathematics, Physics, and Statistics as Assistant Professor of Mathematics in the fall of 2017. She received her PhD in Mathematics (probabilistic combinatorics) from Drexel University in 2017. Previously she earned her BS and MS, both in Mathematics, from York College of Pennsylvania and Drexel University, respectively. Her research interests are in probability and combinatorics and she enjoys working with undergraduate students on research problems in those areas. She has passed the first two actuarial certification exams (P - Probability and FM – Financial Mathematics) and advises Actuarial Science majors. Her hobbies include running, traveling, and hiking. She and her husband, Shane, have one child and are both natives of Dover, PA.
