Karen L. Aumuller

Prof. Faculty, Clinical Supervisor, Assistant Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders and Externship Supervisor

The ability to communicate effectively is such an important part of our everyday lives! As a speech-language pathologist for more than 20 years, I have been blessed to be able celebrate my clients' milestones with them, both large and small.

The reason I love working at Augustana is because I get to continue as a practicing clinician, but I am also helping to teach and inspire the next generation of professionals! I consider myself to be a bit of an "eclectic"in my professional life - I love to learn,  and have happily attended conferences and workshops that will help me to be a valuable member of the Communication Sciences and Disorders department, including working with tongue thrust, accent modification, fluency disorders, voice disorders, and aural rehabilitation.

I hope that students will see my commitment to my clients and be inspired to reach for their very best!

When I started college – at Gustavus Adolphus,  a school much like Augustana –  I had no idea what I wanted to be “when I grew up.”  Everybody around me seemed to have such clear plans, not only what major, but which minors or even what program they were going to enter after graduation.  

I was desperate for some goal to work toward. My dad told me “Take the classes you enjoy and it will work out.” I took chemistry, physics, computer science…  but still didn’t feel like I knew what I wanted to do. Then I realized I had taken every math class I could at Gustavus and I still wanted to learn more.

I was amazed to learn I could get paid to go to grad school. I got a teaching fellowship at the University of Oregon.  That is where I found I not only loved to do math, I  loved to teach math. 

I tell my advisees to take classes because they enjoy them  and it will lead to a career they enjoy … Augustana is a good place for that, time to explore options, a huge variety of classes to take and the liberal arts requirements as motivation to take classes you might not otherwise consider.

Associate Professor of Mathematics, Co-Chair of Mathematics and Computer Science, Earl H. Beling Chair of Mathematics

I'm from Brockton, Mass. I did my undergrad at Northeastern University in Boston with a double major in computer science and mathematics. 

Went on to University of Illinois at Chicago for a master's in pure math and PhD in applied mathematics. My thesis was on numerical analysis schemes for pricing stock options (calls and puts).  What I research today is Bitcoin, and other crypto-currencies.
