Thomas Hamori
Welcome! I am a 5th year graduate student in mathematics at USC. My research pertains primarily to fluid dynamics of traffic flow, but I am also interested in scientific machine learning. I organize the Applied and Computational Math (ACM) Student Seminar at USC and serve as a graduate student instructor mentor for fellow GSI's.
I will be joining Argonne National Lab as a postdoc in May.
Education
Ph.D. Candidate in Mathematics, University of South Carolina
August 2019 - Present
I am in the final stages of a Ph.D. program at the University of South Carolina. My advisor is Dr. Changhui Tan. During my time at USC I have been supported by the DASIV center and RTG grant. I am a founder and organizer of the ACM Student Seminar. My thesis topics include scientific machine learning, fluid mechanics, continuity equations, hyperbolic conservation laws, traffic flow, nonlocal PDE, fractional PDE, global well-posedness as well as entropy inequalities and solutions for equations of the aforementioned varieties.
B.S. in Mathematics, Purdue University
August 2013 - May 2018
I completed my undergraduate degree in mathematics at Purdue University. I also earned a minor in philosophy. I was involved in several organizations, including residence life, where I worked as an RA. I was promoted to REA after receiving an award for leadership. I was also involved in the Social Cognition of Social Justice psychology lab headed by Dr. Erin Hennes. I contributed to a publication regarding misinformation and system-justification.
