Stay afterwards for a MoCAT Mixer to meet with us and talk about the new semester!
Confirmed Speakers
Zerrin Vural
REU at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
"I participated in Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology's Mathematics REU. Here is the website. I think that I first learned about REUs from professors and classmates. I searched for various REUs on my own and I found many on MathPrograms.org. I graduate this May 2021 and I am planning on attending graduate school in Applied Mathematics after graduation."
Rachel Thornton
Extremal Graph Theory and Dynamical Systems REU at Rochester Institute of Technology
"I did the REU at Rochester Institute of Technology (remotely, I wasn't actually in NY due to COVID) and studied efficient (j,k) domination in graphs (graph theory). [...]
I'm planning to go to graduate school and study pure math (the exact field is still TBD). I have not yet applied (I will graduate next Fall, and plan to apply to grad programs then). I'm also planning to apply and hope to get another REU for this summer!"
Ethan Roy
Polymath REU
"I was a part of the Polymath REU, specifically the monomials, convex bodies, and optimization subgroup where I worked on a project about rational powers of monomial ideals.
I learned about this opportunity from a REU program that I was not accepted into last spring. The mentor of that program was working with other professors to create the Polymath REU, and sent an email about the program they created and how to apply.
I plan on graduating in the spring of 2022. As of now my plan is to go to graduate school for math after graduation. I have yet to apply for any graduate programs as of now!"
Omar Aceval
Computational and Experimental Mathematics (CEM) REU at Moravian College
The REU. "How did I first learn of the opportunity: I found it straight from MathPrograms.org.
I have applied for REU's for this summer since I plan to graduate this December 2021. I want to complete an honors thesis but I don't have a topic as of yet, so I will wait until then and take grad level courses. I plan to go to grad school and probably study number theory and/or combinatorics, unless topology really interests me. I also did DRP for two semesters and I want to do it this semester, which I highly recommend. I also presented at the JMM."
Samuel Perales
Data Science REU at Harvey Mudd College
The REU. "I first learned about REUs from a professor and then found all specific details from the NSF website.
I plan to graduate in Spring 2022 and pursue a graduate degree in an undecided computational science (my interests include modeling, computational imaging, and analysis)."
