Our sixth annual Winter Research Symposium will be held on February 13, 3:00-6:30pm, in Gore Hall 104 and the adjoining rotunda. The Winter Research Symposium is a showcase of the research and scholarship of the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Lectures and posters exhibit the variety of exciting work being done by our graduate students. The event also features a guest lecture by a distinguished graduate of our PhD program.
All in the university community are welcome to attend. Prospective graduate students, please scroll down. Schedule| 3:00-3:15 | Welcome and announcement of the First Wenbo Li Scholarship of Graduate Research | | 3:15-3:30 | Jiange Li

Prospective studentsThe Winter Research Symposium is an ideal day for you to visit UD and get to know the campus and the department. We arrange time for you to learn about our programs and meet some of our faculty and students before the Symposium program starts in the afternoon.
Beginning at 11:00, the Graduate Director, Professor Sayas, will give an overview of our programs and what it is like to get a PhD at Delaware. Following this session, some of our current students will take you out to lunch as a group and give you a quick tour of the town and campus. Then you'll have short meetings with several faculty to talk about their research projects and answer your questions. Finally, we'll lead you over to the Symposium events at 3:00. We hope you'll at least stay for the poster session!
If you are interested in attending, please contact Debbie See and let her know so that we can prepare some materials for you. The department is located in Ewing Hall and Ms. See is in room 301A. The most convenient parking is in the Trabant Parking Garage. |
