Internship Company: Kennesaw State University

Kennesaw State University is one of the top 50 largest public schools in the country, along with being the third-largest in the state of Georgia. Not only is there a great amount of diversity and campus involvement from the over 35,000 students; KSU offers courses for over 150 undergraduate, graduate, and doctorate degrees.

Job Title: Classroom Assistant/Research Intern

Regular Duties

Mondays and Fridays: At home, continuing designing the mathematical model through handwritten work and/or MATLAB coding
Tuesdays and Thursdays: Meeting with Dr. Croicu (my mentor) in her office and going to the classroom in order to take notes on the day's lesson and the apparent student involvement

Research Project Title: Mathematical Modeling by Differential Equations with Applications

By using known and proven methods of solving systems of differential equations, eigenvalues, and specific solutions, a mathematical model was developed using a program called MATLAB. There was an enormous amount of Calculus and Linear Algebra involved in creating this overall model, and once the mathematics behind the code was all written out and/or using other software to solve extremely difficult procedures, it was converted into mathematical code. Once the code was written, data collected from the real world concerning injection dosages and absorption rates was used to test the model and judged if the difference values are within a certain tolerance (50% range).
