Hello, I'm J.C. Saunders and I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Middle Tennessee State University. My research is in the areas of number theory, probability, and combinatorics. My Erdös number is 3. Before coming to MTSU, I was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Calgary in Canada and an Azrieli postdoctoral fellow at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel (under the superivision of Dr. Dang Khoa Nguyen and Dr. Daniel Berend, respectively). I graduated with my PhD in pure mathematics from the University of Waterloo in 2018 under the supervision of Dr. Kevin Hare and Dr. Yu-Ru Liu. My office is in Room 203G in Kirskey Old Main on the MTSU campus and my email is John.Saunders@mtsu.edu. I'm originally from Nova Scotia, Canada. My pronouns are he, his, and him.
