Urvashi Arora

Visiting Assistant Professor, Mathematics

I am Urvashi Arora, an Assistant Professor with a strong background in mathematics, data science, and statistical analysis. I hold a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee and MS in Statistics and Data Science from the University of Houston. I joined the Department of Mathematics and Physics at Manhattan University in fall 2024, where I teach a range of courses, including Calculus and Precalculus, to students from various disciplines and work on machine learning and control theory research. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering critical thinking and analytical problem-solving skills, while making complex mathematical concepts accessible and engaging for students.   

My research interests include the controllability of dynamical systems and the application of machine learning across various domains. I am committed to creating a collaborative and inclusive learning environment, inspiring the next generation of mathematicians.
