Amber Lynn Puha is an American mathematician and educator at California State University San Marcos.
[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Jointly with H. Christian Gromoll and Ruth J. Williams, she developed fluid (law of large numbers) and diffusion (central limit theorem) approximations for processor sharing queues with renewal arrivals and iid service requirements.
[16][17] By removing the Poisson arrival and the exponential service assumptions in previous literatures, this work advanced the state of art of applied probability and has board applications, "from many-server parallel queues that model call centers to bandwidth sharing communications networks that model the Internet.
[22] Since 2019, she has been an associate editor of Mathematics of Operations Research in the area of stochastic models.
[23] From 2013-2015, Puha served as a Council Member at Large for the American Mathematical Society.
