Edward Mosteig, Ph.D., Director for Teaching and Learning

Edward Mosteig earned his doctorate in applied mathematics and a master's in computer science from Cornell University in 2000. After spending two years at Tulane University, he has devoted his career to Loyola Marymount University. Over the past few decades, he has focused on research at the intersection of mathematics and computer science, particularly valuing opportunities to involve students in his work. Recently, Edward has become increasingly engaged in research surrounding the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), education, and practices that impact faculty engagement.

Edward's dedication to teaching and learning is profoundly student-centered, aimed at ensuring undergraduates from all backgrounds have the opportunity to thrive. He has served as a teaching assistant for the Summer Institute for Mathematics for Undergraduates (SIMU) in Puerto Rico and later as a faculty member for the Applied Mathematical Sciences Summer Institute (AMSSI), co-hosted by LMU. He also founded and directed A Community Committed to Excellence in Scientific Scholarship (ACCESS) at LMU, a program designed to promote underserved populations within the university, as well as the LMU McNair Scholars Program, which prepares students for success in graduate studies. His contributions to teaching and advising were recognized with the Rudinica Prize for Teaching and Advising.

Edward has served on numerous committees and engaged in many efforts to promote a healthy environment conducive to collaboration and student excellence. For example, he has served as co-chair of the LMU Intercultural Faculty Committee, as chair of the Seaver College DEI Committee, and as co-leader of the Alternative Grading Faculty Learning Community.

Throughout his tenure as a teacher-scholar at LMU, Edward continues to explore and advocate for evidence-based teaching practices, aiming to broaden the conversation to include a wider community of educators.
