Aparna W. Higgins is a mathematician known for her encouragement of undergraduate mathematicians to participate in mathematical research.{{r|section}} Higgins originally specialized in universal algebra, but her more recent research concerns graph theory, including graph pebbling and line graphs.{{r|pcumc}} She is a professor of mathematics at the University of Dayton.{{r|dayton}} Education and careerHiggins is originally from Mumbai, India, and did her undergraduate studies at the University of Mumbai, graduating in 1978.{{r|pcumc}} She completed her Ph.D. in 1983 at the University of Notre Dame; her dissertation, Heterogeneous Algebras Associated with Non-Indexed Algebras, a Representation Theorem on Weak Automorphisms of Universal Algebras, was supervised by Abraham Goetz.{{r|mgp}} In 2009 she became director of Project NExT, after the previous director, T. Christine Stevens, stepped down; this project is an initiative of the Mathematical Association of America to provide career guidance to new doctorates in mathematics.{{r|focus}} Higgins is married to Bill Higgins, a mathematics professor at Wittenberg University, and the two regularly take their sabbaticals together in California.{{r|clu}} RecognitionHiggins won a Distinguished Teaching Award from the Mathematical Association of America in 1995, for her contributions to undergraduate research.{{r|section}} In 2005 she was one of three winners of the Deborah and Franklin Haimo Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics of the Mathematical Association of America.{{r|atlanta}} References1. ^{{citation|url=https://www.cluecho.com/2016/02/married-math-professors-join-clu-community-one-year/|title=Married math professors join the CLU community for one year|date=February 24, 2016|magazine=The Echo|publisher=California Lutheran University|accessdate=2018-02-17}} [1][2][3][4][5][6]2. ^{{citation|url=https://udayton.edu/directory/artssciences/mathematics/higgins_aparna.php|title=Aparna Higgins|work=College of Arts and Sciences Directory|publisher=University of Dayton|accessdate=2018-02-17}} 3. ^{{citation|url=https://www.maa.org/sites/default/files/pdf/pubs/febmar09pg15.pdf|title=Aparna Higgins to Become Director of Project NExT|journal=MAA Focus|publisher=Mathematical Association of America|date=February–March 2009|page=15}} 4. ^{{mathgenealogy|id=51184}} 5. ^{{citation|url=http://acrans.lmu.build/PCUMC2009/invited_speakers.html|title=Morning speaker|publisher=Pacific Coast Undergraduate Mathematics Conference|date=March 14, 2009|accessdate=2018-02-17}} 6. ^{{citation|url=http://sections.maa.org/ohio/Award/aparna.html|title=Aparna Higgins|publisher=Ohio Section of the Mathematical Association of America|accessdate=2018-02-17}} }}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Higgins, Aparna}} 16 : Year of birth missing (living people)|Living people|Indian women mathematicians|20th-century American mathematicians|21st-century American mathematicians|American women mathematicians|Graph theorists|University of Mumbai alumni|University of Notre Dame alumni|University of Dayton faculty|Women scientists from Maharashtra|Indian combinatorialists|20th-century Indian mathematicians|21st-century Indian mathematicians|20th-century women mathematicians|21st-century women mathematicians |
