[1] She is noted for her research background in algebraic K-theory, as well as her interdisciplinary work in bioinformatics and biostatistics, among other disciplines.
[2] Sue Geller has an extensive and largely interdisciplinary research background with a variety of focus areas, including bioinformatics, biostatistics, computational biology, algebraic K-theory, cyclic homology, and mathematics education.
[4] Her foray into the fields of bioinformatics and biostatistics has led her to research methods of addressing challenges faced when analyzing data produced by microarray technology, which provides ways of studying active genes in different cell tissue types.
[2] She also began conducting research on the information available from college applications and how it correlates to success in university honors programs for freshman students.
[7] Due to her deep interest in and commitment to mentoring students, the Department of Mathematics renamed its Mathematics Undergraduate Research Lecture Series in 2018 to the Sue Geller Undergraduate Lecture Series, honoring Geller's dedication and service.
[2] Her major contribution was a compilation of skits that highlighted micro-inequities that women face in their mathematical careers.
[9] She consistently made efforts to utilize humor to combat these inequities and work towards women's equality in mathematics.
