Matthew Kvalheim

Assistant Professor of Mathematics

University of Maryland, Baltimore County

My research draws on differential topology and other geometric-topological methods to study nonlinear systems. In 2026 I received the Young Investigator Program Award from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Early Career Faculty Excellence Award from UMBC. I am on the editorial board of Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems. Previously, I held postdoctoral appointments at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan, where I also obtained my Ph.D. and M.S. degrees.
