OZ WILSON (CO-CHAIR)

5th Year ACM

Oz is interested in Brownian motion and stochastic processes for modeling random behavior. Oz is also interested in studying stochastic filtering to estimate unpredictable and indirectly observable processes.

NICOLE BRUCE (CO-CHAIR)

4th Year Bio

Nicole studies mathematical models of beta cells, which are the insulin secreting cells found in regions of the pancreas called the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. I am particularly interested in modeling potential mechanisms for islet synchronization. 

AUDREY NASH  (SECRETARY)

2nd Year Bio

Audrey is currently working on an interdisciplinary research team applying data science tools to neural datasets to gain insight into how taste is processed in mouse brains, aiming to improve our understanding of the neural coding scheme by incorporating the context of active stimulus sensation. She is also interested in machine learning and mathematical modeling of biological systems.

FRANCIS BAFFOUR-AWUAH JUNIOR (WEBMASTER)

4th Year Bio

Francis is interested in mathematical modeling of diseases.

ALEX WHITE

6th Year Pure

Alex's research interests include Geometric Measure Theory, particularly building the connection between Riesz Potentials and the Covering/Packing Problem on sets of fractional Hausdorff dimension. I also have an interest in other geometric type problems which can be solved using analytic tools.

VIRGINIA PARKMAN

6th Year Bio

Virginia works on the modeling of Biofilms in the lungs of Cystic Fibrosis patients. Virginia is currently updating the mechanics of the current model to more accurately represent the Biofilm and its natural environment.

ANINDYA CHANDA

6th Year Pure

Anindya is interested in the broad field of Geometry, Groups and Dynamics. In these fields we talk about actions of groups on geometric spaces, like manifolds, graphs, and cellular structures. We also study the geometric properties of those spaces using the actions.

JULIA REAM

6th Year ACM

Julia is interested in Computational Fluid Dynamics with specific applications in Supercritical Fluid Dynamics. So far, that research has led me to focus on the turbulence physics of supercritical carbon dioxide jets. I also like working with high performance computing to apply the aspect of computational mathematics to my research.

SHREYA BOSE

5th Year Financial

Shreya is interested in applying Optimal Transportation to Insider Trading problems. The main framework being considered for this is the continuous time version of Kyle's model of asset pricing with asymmetric information. Shreya's main aim is to try and develop the Kyle-Back equilibrium model under very general assumptions.

EMMANUEL HARTMAN

5th Year Pure

Emmanuel's research interests are in differential geometry, discrete geometry, shape analysis, functional data analysis, machine learning, optimization, and optimal transport.

NICHOLAS OSSI

5th Year ACM

Nick has an interest in Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations and Mathematical Physics.

ALYSSA DUAN

4th Year Financial

Alyssa is interested in Global Sensitivity Analysis and Shapley Values. 

HEBA BOU KAEDBEY

3rd Year Pure

Heba is interested in Computer Algebra and Difference Algebra. Currently, she is working on defining and computing a generalization of Liouvillian solutions that correspond to higher order factors. 

ALAINA EDWARDS

2nd Year ACM

With a background in physics and computer science, Alaina's research interests include mathematical modeling and visualizing of astrophysical systems on high-performance computers.

RUTH LOPEZ FAJARD0

2nd Year Financial

Ruth's research interests are in the areas of Data Assimilation and Stochastic inference. Currently, she is working on the Bayesian approach for static on-line parameters estimation in State-space models as a filtering problem.
