Ellen Gethner is a US mathematician and computer scientist specializing in graph theory who won the Mathematical Association of America's Chauvenet Prize[1] in 2002 with co-authors Stan Wagon and Brian Wick for their paper A stroll through the Gaussian Primes.
She completed her first, a PhD in mathematics from Ohio State University, in 1992; her dissertation, Rational Period Functions For The Modular Group And Related Discrete Groups, was supervised by L. Alayne Parson.
[3] Gethner is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at University of Colorado Denver.
[4] Gethner became interested in connections between geometry and art after a high school lesson using a kaleidoscope to turn a drawing into an Escher-like tessellation of the plane.
