Known as “Dr. K”, Professor Aaron Kaestner regularly integrates issues of faith and multiculturalism in his teaching. And whether learning takes place in the classroom, in the neighborhood, or downtown Chicago, Kaestner imparts the Math department’s student-first approach to teaching. “Our doors are always open and we love having students drop by to discuss class sessions, research, or whatever is on their mind,” he says.
Research interests include knot theory, quantum topology, and math education.
