Career Specialties

Kari Fowler specializes in complex analysis. Fowler is also interested in both computerized tomography and global analysis.

Professional and Community Activities

Fowler is the advisor for the Pi Mu Epsilon Mathematics Honor Society, and she has served as an advisor for the Mathematics Club, as well as a Gateways advisor. She has also served as supervisor for the Lecture Series in Mathematics and coordinator for Senior Seminars. Fowler is a member of the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America.

Fowler has received the Dana Faculty Development Grant, Teaching Innovation Grant, and Pi Mu Epsilon National Lectureship and Chapter Enhancement Program Grant.

Fowler has presented papers at several national mathematics conferences and has published several articles on the interaction between coefficient conditions and solution conditions of complex differential equations in the unit disk. She has also conducted research on predicting the performance of 3-D X-ray computerized tomography systems at Argonne National Lab (a U.S. Department of Energy laboratory affiliated with the University of Chicago) in Lemont, IL and research on the geometry of infinite-dimensional manifolds. Her current research involves tropical difference polynomial equations.
