He attended graduate school at the University of California, Riverside, where he received his Ph.D. in mathematics in 1981. His dissertation was concerned with the relationship between omega-chain continuous functions. He began teaching at the University of Dayton in 1981. He continues to study set-theoretic topology and ordered sets. In 1992, Dr. Mashburn organized a special session in set-theoretic topology for the American Mathematical Society meeting held at Wright State University. He assisted with some of the initial organization and updated of the Topology Atlas, a web site devoted to matters associated with topology. Dr. Mashburn is a member of the American Mathematics Society and reviews papers for the Mathematical Review.
