STUDENTS

Students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in applied mathematics should apply directly through the Mathematics Department Ph.D program. The Applied Math Group at the University of Utah is supported by an NSF-RTG Training Grant. Interested students are welcome to contact me directly about potential research projects.

Undergraduate students interested in an REU should contact me directly and apply through the Mathematics Department REU program or other sponsored office on campus (UROP).
