Rate My Professor Casey Donoven

Dr. Donoven's research specializes primarily in algebra, with particular emphasis on geometric group theory and semigroup theory. Within geometric group theory, his investigations include Thompson's Group V, finite state automata, and the generation of infinite simple groups. In semigroup theory, Dr. Donoven focuses on subsemigroup structures, encompassing the computation of maximal subsemigroups and coverings by subsemigroups. He has presented his work at professional conferences, such as a talk on 3/2-generated semigroups at the Zassenhaus Group Theory Conference in 2021 and contributions noted in American Mathematical Society abstracts. Key publications include 'Infinite 3/2-generated groups' co-authored with Scott Harper and published in the Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society in 2020; 'Conjugate subgroups and overgroups of V_n' with Feyishayo Olukoya in the International Journal of Algebra and Computation in 2020; and 'Some isomorphism results for Thompson-like groups V_n(G)' with Collin Bleak and Julius Jonušas in the Israel Journal of Mathematics in 2017. At Montana State University Northern, Dr. Donoven contributes to faculty committees including the Tutoring Committee and has delivered brown bag lectures on mathematics education topics.
