About Dr. Perkins

Dr. Perkins' PhD from UC Davis in Numerical Methods merged Computational Physics and Physical Mathematics within Computer Science. During her 23 years in Academia punctuated with both research and teaching awards she continually served on Department and University-Wide Accreditation Committees as both professor and chair. Additional teaching experience at the elementary, junior high and high school levels due to shortages after Hurricane Katrina led to a second Bachelors degree in Mathematics Education.
