At my current position with the Science Research Initiative at the University of Utah, I lead a group of undergraduate researchers in the area of Topological Data Analysis.
Students in my research group work on a variety of projects in both theory and applications, including:
Enumerating and visualizing the fibered barcode for bi-persistence modules,
Analyzing financial data with TDA to determine stock market patterns,
Using TDA to understand neural data,
Using TDA to understand genetic mutations.
Developing proficiency in reading and writing mathematics
Developing qualitative technical communication skills
Quantifying and modeling questions from all areas of science with mathematics
Proof writing
Creating algorithms, and implementing them with coding
Students who want to find creative ways to answer quantitative questions in a wide range of scientific fields!
Students who want to develop their technical communication and qualitative reasoning skills!
No prior math experience required!
Josie Marshall, Research Assistant
Bio: My name is Josie Marshall and I am from Park City, Utah. In December 2024 I will graduate with my bachelor's in Applied Mathematics and continue my education at the University of Utah in the Master of Information Systems program studying ERP Systems Management and Predictive Analytics.
My experience with the Science Research Initiative includes topics in Topological Data Analysis, High-dimensional Chip-Firing systems, and Barile-Macchia Resolutions of Matroid Ideals.
Outside of school I love to golf, ski, and try new recipes!
