卢卡斯爆炸 joined the Department of 计算机科学 in 2018 after earning a PhD in computer science from the University of California at Santa Barbara. His research with Claremont college students has focused on formal methods for quantitative program analysis. In 2020, Bang and 乔治Montanez received funding from the National Science Foundation for a renewal of Harvey Mudd’s 研究 Experience for Undergraduates site focusing on computer systems, and Bang serves as co-principal investigator on a project to provide an automated, 用于评估软件测试难度的可伸缩和定量方法. Also an artist, Bang recently exhibited his work in Harvey Mudd’s Sprague Gallery: 静态动态紧急 探索静止之间的边界空间, 在计算媒介世界中的运动和自我反射生成.

凯瑟琳·布里登 joined the Department of 计算机科学 in 2017 after earning a PhD in computer science at Stanford. 她在Harvey Mudd教过各种各样的课程, 包括CS简介, 计算机图形学, 离散微分几何, 一年级写作. 她的研究兴趣包括人类视觉, 计算机图形学和计算机科学教育, 对体验式学习特别感兴趣. Her professional engagement includes consulting activities for the Schmidt Academy for Software 工程 at Caltech and the Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation. She has also served as the academic director for the CS department’s 诊所 Program projects for the past three years.

Nicholas Breznay ' 02 2017年加入物理系. After attending Harvey Mudd with support from an Adele and David Foley Aeronautical Scholarship, 他后来获得了M.S. 获得斯坦福大学应用物理学博士学位. He has held 帖子doctoral fellowships at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley. He is an experimental condensed matter physicist and studies the properties of quantum materials, 比如超导体, 磁体和相变绝缘体, 使用极端低温环境, 高压和强磁场. This research has been widely published: he has more than a dozen papers in the physics journal 物理评论B; including a paper co-authored with an HMC student “Magnon-spinon dichotomy in the Kitaev hyperhoneycomb β−Li₂IrO₃,，获得了“编辑建议奖”.

In 2018, 阿尔弗雷德·弗洛雷斯 joined Harvey Mudd and the Intercollegiate Department of Asian American Studies (which serves all undergraduate students of 克莱蒙特学院) as an assistant professor of Asian American studies. 他拥有加州大学洛杉矶分校的历史学博士学位, 他的研究领域是侨民, 劳动, indigeneity, 军国主义, 口述历史, 以及大洋洲的殖民主义. Flores received a competitive National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipend in 2023 to fund preliminary archival research and to conduct 口述历史 interviews for his second book, Transoceanic Micronesians: CHamoru and Marshallese Diaspora in Southern California. 在他的第一本书中， 矛尖:土地、劳工和美国.S. gu汉的定居者军国主义, Flores explores the tension in the history and relationships between the CHamoru people and the U.S. gu汉的军队.

马克Ilton 于2018年加入物理系, coming from a 帖子-doctoral position at the Conte Polymer 研究 Center at the University of Massachusetts, 阿默斯特. Ilton拥有麦克马斯特大学物理学博士学位. 研究领域, 由美国国家科学基金会和HMC物理暑期研究基金资助, 弹性体和脉冲生物系统中的能量释放动力学. Work with students from his 物理 of Soft Matter (PoSM) Lab was recently published in the 英国皇家学会界面杂志. 他们的论文”Viscoelastic materials are most energy efficient when loaded and unloaded at equal rates” details the group’s investigation of the mechanical energy efficiency of biological springs (e.g.肌腱). Ilton was named a Cottrell Scholar in 2023 and is working on a col劳动ative project to 强调来自边缘背景的科学家 促进科学教育.

Lindo Haydee joined the Department of 数学 in 2020 after serving as a Gaius Charles Bolin fellow and then assistant professor of mathematics and statistics at Williams College. 林多在犹他大学获得博士学位. She is a commutative algebraist with research interests in homological algebra and representation theory. In 2021, Lindo received NSF funding to support her research and research students in developing the theory of trace modules within commutative algebra. Lindo has also received NSF funding to organize conferences for women in commutative algebra. She has served as editor in chief for publications on the board of the National Association of Mathematicians and encourages great math exposition outside of the classroom in her role as a section lecturer for the Mathematical Association of America.

After completing his PhD in machine learning at Carnegie Mellon University, 乔治Montanez他于2018年加入计算机科学系. His previous work includes serving as an NSF Graduate 研究 Fellow and a Ford Foundation Predoctoral Fellow, 在微软研究院和雅虎实习! 作为一名软件工程师和全栈开发人员. 他领导着 Artificial Machine Intelligence = Search Targets Awaiting Discovery (AMISTAD) lab, which researches problems in theoretical machine learning, probability, statistics and search. Montanez and his student researchers are widely published in computer science venues, and he and his students (together and on his own) have won several Best Paper awards. 和HMC的同事赞达·斯科菲尔德一起, Montañez received NSF funding in 2023 for renewal of the 研究 Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site (computer science) at Harvey Mudd. He held the Iris and Howard Critchell Assistant Professorship for three years and was voted Outstanding 教师 Member in 2021. 他获得了克莱蒙特学院2020年多元化导师奖, which honors faculty members who provide support and encouragement to historically underrepresented students and colleagues.
