Dr. Higgins has been at Texas Tech since 2008, and is currently an Associate Professor
in Mathematics. She earned her BS from Xavier University of Louisiana, and her MS
and PhD from University of Nebraska.
Dr. Higgins' current research is in time scales. The calculus of time scales was developed
to unity and extend results obtained for differential equations and difference equations.
Her interests focus on oscillation criteria for certain linear and nonlinear second-order
dynamic equations. Dr. Higgins is also interested in applications of time scales to
mathematical biology and issues that affect pre-service teachers' ability to teach
mathematics. As a WOC, she is committed to the education, training, and mentoring of women in STEM. Dr. Higgins' work with the EDGE (Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education) Program
and the LS-AMP (Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation) Bridges Across Texas
grant are allowing her to assist in strengthening the ability of those historically excluded from the mathematical
sciences and STEM to complete undergraduate and graduate programs and to place more
women in visible leadership roles in the mathematics community.
