Professional career
Kuske received her PhD in Applied Mathematics from Northwestern University in 1992. Her dissertation, Asymptotic Analysis of Random Wave Equations, was supervised by Bernard J. Matkowsky.{{MathGenealogy|id=45290}} From 1997 to 2002, she was Assistant Professor and then associate professor at the University of Minnesota. She is an expert on stochastic and nonlinear dynamics, mathematical modeling, asymptotic methods, and industrial mathematics.{{Cite web |url=http://www.math.ubc.ca/~rachel/cv/rkuske_cv14.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2014-10-14 |archive-date=2014-10-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141019024653/http://www.math.ubc.ca/~rachel/cv/rkuske_cv14.pdf |url-status=dead }}{{Cite web|url=https://www.math.ubc.ca/~rachel/RK%27s%20HomePage/Home.html|title=Rachel Kuske|last=|first=|date=|website=University of British Columbia|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2017-04-08}} She served on the Scientific Advisory Board for the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM),https://icerm.brown.edu/about/nsf/reports/2020-2021-Annual-Report.pdf ICERM Annual Report May 1, 2020 – April 30, 2021 and as of 2021 she serves on ICERM's board of trustees.{{Cite web|title=ICERM - Trustee and Advisory Boards - Trustee & Advisory Boards|url=https://icerm.brown.edu/about/boards/|access-date=2021-07-11|website=icerm.brown.edu}}
Awards and honours
Kuske was awarded a Sloan Fellowship in 1992 and was made a Canada Research Chair in 2002.
In 2011 Kuske was a recipient of the Canadian Mathematical Society Krieger–Nelson Prize, given to outstanding woman in mathematics in Canada.{{Cite web|url=http://cms.math.ca/Prizes/info/kn.html|title = Krieger-Nelson Prize}}{{cite web | title=2011 Krieger-Nelson Prize | url=https://cms.math.ca/wp-content/uploads/awards/citations/kn2011.pdf | access-date=2024-03-02}}
In 2015 she became a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics "for contributions to the theory of stochastic and nonlinear dynamics and its application, and for promoting equity and diversity in mathematics."{{citation|url=http://fellows.siam.org/index.php?sort=year&value=2015|title=SIAM Fellows: Class of 2015|publisher=Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics|accessdate=2015-10-08}}.
