Stephen Flood is a Professor of Mathematics at Bridgewater State University. He received his PhD in mathematics from the University of Notre Dame in 2012. Before coming to Bridgewater in 2015, he taught at the Pennsylvania State University and at the University of Connecticut. In his research, he studies the interplay between counting arguments, the theory of computation, and mathematical logic. In recent years, these interests have expanded to include artificial intelligence systems and mechanistic interpretability. His papers have been published in a range of journals including the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, the Journal of Symbolic Logic, the Annals of Pure and Applied Logic, and the Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic.
Dr. Flood has mentored students in a wide range of independent studies and undergraduate research projects covering topics such as the foundations of mathematics, algorithms and programming, and large language models.
Dr. Flood teaches a wide range of classes including the calculus sequence, linear algebra, logic, probability theory, and artificial intelligence. More information about Dr. Flood’s teaching and research can be found at his personal website https://gradientgrove.com/stephenflood/.
