Jacob Laubacher is an associate professor of mathematics at St. Norbert College. His research interest lies in algebra, and his favorite courses to teach involve theory and proof. He juggles two ongoing projects, the first focusing on the realm of homological algebra in which he studies generalizations and properties of Hochschild (co)homology. The other project exists in the world of group theory in which he investigates whether certain graphs can occur as the prime character degree graph of a solvable group.

When he’s not teaching math courses, Laubacher enjoys running, knitting and reading. He’s also an avid fan of both the Oxford comma and the Cleveland Browns. He’s obsessed with card games, desserts and quality furniture.
