Higgins is a mathematician known for her encouragement of undergraduate mathematicians to participate in mathematical research.Шаблон:R Higgins originally specialized in universal algebra, but her more recent research concerns graph theory, including graph pebbling and line graphs.Шаблон:R She is a professor of mathematics at the University of Dayton.Шаблон:R

Education and career

Higgins is originally from Mumbai, India, and did her undergraduate studies at the University of Mumbai, graduating in 1978.Шаблон:R 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.Шаблон:R

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.Шаблон:R

Higgins is married to Bill Higgins, a mathematics professor at Wittenberg University, and the two regularly take their sabbaticals together in California.Шаблон:R
