Antonella Cupillari (born 1955) [1] is an Italian-American mathematician interested in the history of mathematics and mathematics education. She is an associate professor of mathematics at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College. [2]
Education and career
Cupillari earned a laurea at the University of L'Aquila in 1978, and completed her Ph.D. at the University at Albany, SUNY in 1984. [2] Her dissertation, A Small Boundary for on a Strictly Pseudoconvex Domain, concerned functional analysis, and was supervised by R. Michael (Rolf) Range; [3] she also published it in the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society. [4]
Cupillari joined the faculty at Penn State Erie in 1984 and was promoted to associate professor in 1992. [2]
