About

Dr. Kristen Joyce joined Florida Polytechnic University in August 2025 as an assistant professor of applied mathematics. Prior to this, she worked at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina, as a graduate research assistant from August 2023-August 2025, and a graduate teacher of record from August 2020 to August 2023.

Joyce also was a mathematics graduate student consultant at E Edfinity, Looking Glass Ventures LLC from May 2023-February 2025.

Florida Poly intramural sports players may find themselves going head-to-head against Joyce, who enjoys the healthy competition. She lives in Lakeland with her husband, Dr. Alexander Joyce, who is also an assistant professor of applied mathematics.

When not working or playing with her dog, Gnocchi, Joyce can be found reading a book or riding a rollercoaster at one of the region’s world-famous theme parks.
