Rory is a two-tour combat veteran who came home to the horrors of post-war traumas and a failed home life. After losing control of his life and experiencing the totality of self-destruction, Rory found himself with a 12-year prison sentence. In prison, he reclaimed not only his life, but his sense of self-worth.

Now, he advocates for reform measure of all types within prisons and is a champion of helping others find their "best selves" as well.

Paul  started with the PMP around 2020, while incarcerated. As a participant he was given the nick-name “problem child” or “probsy” for short, because he was the most needy of the participants.

Upon his release he was asked to be a PMP volunteer, and it has been an honor for him to be able to help this organization, and it has given him great joy to be part of the PMP family.

Stephanie is very happy to both represent the PMP and be studying representation theory as a junior in college. She is also on a quest to make computers cuter <3 and get more girls into math & computer science.  

Spencer loves mathematics, both learning and teaching it! He finished his Bachelors in Mathematics in 2024, with an emphasis on pure math. Some of his special interests include set theory, topology, and jazz. He started volunteering with the PMP as a mentor in 2022 and is now the volunteer coordinator. He's hoping to begin a PhD program soon and to continue volunteering with PMP in the future!

Claire Finlayson is a published author from BC, Canada who has been associated with the PMP since 2020. She is the founder and managing editor of the PMP newsletter and writes spotlights of the program's participants.

Tasmin Chu is a master's student in mathematics at McGill University. Her research interests are in probability and measured group theory. Alongside mentoring Kevin, she also runs the Twitter account for Prison Math Project.

Abhiram Natarajan is a postdoctoral fellow at the Mathematical Institute, University of Warwick, UK. He received his PhD from Purdue University working in real algebraic geometry and o-minimal geometry. He is currently working on topics spanning algebraic geometry, o-minimal geometry, commutative algebra, algebraic topology, and some mathematical applications. He has been a very active mentor with the PMP since January 2024.

Danica Allard is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Bismarck State College.  She has earned a BS and MS in mathematics from the University of North Dakota.  She spends as much time outdoors with her family as possible. Danica also co-runs the first ever PMP mat circle at the North Dakota State Penitentiary, helping bring fun math inside of prison!

Cody is a passionate nerd with a dual background in computer science and mathematics, who has built a career as a software architect. Beyond his professional pursuits, he has a deep love for board games and all forms of tabletop gaming. He works on the PMP console, a tool aimed at bringing coding inside of prisons.

Peter Kagey is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Cal Poly Pomona who likes to think about combinatorics, recreational mathematics, and experimental mathematics. He has been collaborating with Bill Keehn through the Prison Mathematics Project since 2022.

Katrina Eberhart is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Bismarck State College.  She has earned a BS and MS in mathematics as well as a PhD in teaching and learning from the University of North Dakota.  She enjoys road trips with her family where they visit national parks to hike and bike.

Sharon joined the Prison Math Project in 2022. She is currently a post-bac. student in mathematics at Smith College in MA. Prior to that, she was a math tutor/interventionist at a public middle school. She also worked for the Art of Problem Solving, taught at BEAM's Summer Away program, and led math circles for middle and high school students. She likes math because it can always surprise you, and because of how it brings people together.
