Current Executive Team

I am a 2nd-year Master’s student in algebraic quantum information. I believe breadth across several major areas of math is essential for building intuition, and the exchange of ideas between seemingly unrelated areas contributes greatly to a healthy research community. Beyond math, I’m interested in language evolution and historical reconstruction, especially the Proto-Min–Qiangic–Shu relations. (If you’re interested in giving a talk for the Grad Student Colloquium, please email me at bhon (at) uottawa (dot) ca.) 

I am a third-year PhD student. My research focuses on Ordinary Differential Equations and Optimization. I enjoy finding ways to connect mathematics with real-life problems and seeing how abstract ideas can make a real impact. On special days, though, I love to celebrate my culture. I love wearing a saree, as you can see in my photo. It’s light, elegant, and completely impractical for the biting cold of Canada. But every January—on my birthday—I take that challenge anyway. My favourite kind is the 'Jamdani' saree, known for its delicate geometric patterns, hand-woven thread by thread. One day, I hope to explore the mathematics hidden within those intricate designs. This year, I am truly excited to serve MSGSA and be part of a community that grows through shared ideas and collaboration. I would love to hear from you—your thoughts, your suggestions, and how together we can make MSGSA even better. 

This position is unfortunately vacant for this term.

Hi, I'm Amelie! I'm a first-year PhD student in mathematics and my research area is category theory. I am very passionate about my research work and find teaching very fulfilling. As VP Labour, I look forward to working with the MSGSA in collaboration with CUPE and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. I want all graduate students to be provided with the tools to have meaningful work experiences that will open up more opportunities for them, even after graduation. If you have any questions or concerns about anything related to labour, don't hesitate to send me an email at acomt101 (at) uottawa (dot) ca.
