Dissonance is 10 days away! Meet our third speaker Dr. Thomas Lebesmuehlbacher.

Thomas Lebesmuehlbacher is an Assistant Professor in the Economics Department at Xavier University since 2017. Being a German citizen, Thomas received his B.A. in Economics from Bamberg University in 2008 and completed his M.Sc. in International Economics and Economic Policy at Frankfurt University in 2010. During his undergraduate studies, Thomas spent one year at Clemson University. The connections he formed during this time caused him to pursue a Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Georgia.
His research interests are broad, ranging from Development Economics to Health Economics. The common denominator in all his work is the pursuit of causal relationships, rather than correlations. He has published work on the macroeconomic consequences of remittances, and his research on asylum seekers and house prices was cited in the public press.

It's a beautiful day to meet another TEDxXavier: Dissonance
speaker! Meet Rhea!

Can math be a tool to solve the world’s biggest problems? Rhea Elcock challenges her audience to see mathematics differently from the way it is usually portrayed. Originally from Honolulu Hawaii, Rhea Elcock graduated from Moanalua High School with a love for problem solving. She later transitioned to Xavier University where she received her B.A in Mathematics. At Xavier, she recognized her passion for social justice through programs and organizations such as the Black Student Association, Summer Service Intern and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. While at Xavier, Rhea became a Bruggeman Fellow where she engaged in a yearlong study of how culture plays a role in understanding mathematics. She later spent six weeks in Singapore to further that study. Now seeking to change norm of mathematics and its perspective, Rhea is earning her Masters in STEM Education at the Woodrow Wilson Graduate School with MIT. Passionate about solving problems like racism, sexism and classism, Rhea seeks to use her lense as a mathematician to nurture a better world.
