Erik Westlund

Associate Professor of Mathematics

Welcome to my web page.  I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics of the College of Science and Mathematics at Kennesaw State University.  I joined the faculty in 2011.  

I am passionate about teaching undergraduate mathematics and working with students.  I am a strong supporter of implementing active learning methodology in the classroom and in helping students become self-directed learners.  I have research interests in graph theory, applied network science, combinatorics, group theory, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.
