Monica M. VanDieren is an American mathematician specializing in mathematical logic and model theory.
She did her graduate studies in mathematical sciences at Carnegie Mellon University through their Pure & Applied Logic Program, earning a master's degree in 1998 and completing her Ph.D. in 2002.
[2] Her dissertation was Categoricity and Stability in Abstract Elementary Classes, with Rami Grossberg as her doctoral advisor.
[2] Some of VanDieren's research has been directed towards Shelah's categoricity conjecture in classification theory.
[4] Beyond VanDieren's university work, she has also led mathematics enrichment workshops for middle school and high school students, for instance using origami to demonstrate the beauty of mathematics.
