    Trachette Jackson

    Background: Where are you from?
    I call Arizona my home, even though I was not born there. My father was in the US Air Force, which meant a very nomadic life for me as a child. I was born in Monroe, Louisiana and moved to a new state (or country) every two years. When I was 12 years old, we settled down in my ‘hometown’ of Mesa, AZ.

    An experience (or 2) that helped you discover/ cultivate your interest in the mathematical sciences.
    I went to Mesa High School from 1987 – 1990. I took all of the College Preparatory and Advanced Placement courses and graduated as a member of the Academic Top 20 (the students with the top 20 GPA’s in the graduating class, in 1990 I believe there were over 800 graduating seniors).

    The summer after my junior year of high school, I attended the Math-Science Honors Program (now part of the SUMS Institute) at Arizona State University (ASU). The Math-Science Honors Program began in 1985 when Dr. Joaquin Bustoz, Professor of Mathem

    Trachette Jackson

    American mathematician

    Trachette Levon Jackson (born July 24, 1972) is an American mathematician who is a professor of mathematics at the University of Michigan and is known for work in mathematical oncology.[1] She uses many different approaches, including continuous and discrete mathematical models, numerical simulations, and experiments to study tumor growth and treatment. Specifically, her lab is interested in "molecular pathways associated with intratumoral angiogenesis," "cell-tissue interactions associated with tumor-induced angiogenesis," and "tumor heterogeneity and cancer stem cells."[2]

    Education and career

    [edit]

    Jackson's parents were in the military and traveled frequently through her childhood; as a teenager, she lived in Mesa, Arizona. There, in a summer calculus course, her talent for mathematics brought her to the attention of Arizona State University mathematics professor Joaquín Bustoz, Jr. She went on to undergradua
