Before joining Trinity College, Dr. Sandoval worked as a government mathematician for the U.S. Department of Energy, helping to develop mathematical models that were used to analyze proposed revisions to the Clean Air Act of 1990.

Dr. Sandoval is a graduate of Yale University, where she majored in mathamatics. She holds a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in mathematics from Michigan State University.
