Congratulations to Wendy Knight, Evan Toler, and Alex Gardner! Their presentation of "Skewer Alignment for Skull Surgery" won today's CAAM Senior Design presentation.
Muhammad Shamim '14 has received a Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans! Currently an M.D./Ph.D. student at Baylor College of Medicine, he was one of 30 students selected from a pool of more than 1,700 applicants and will receive up to $90,000 in funding for his graduate program.
Using powerful optimization methods, Schaefer and his colleagues sought to improve the accuracy of the decisions regarding which strains should be included in the vaccine. Waiting longer to determine the final composition of the vaccine, and observing which strains are emerging in other parts of the world, fine-tunes the accuracy of the selection, but results in an insufficient quantity of vaccine made in time for the start of flu season.
“There’s a deep appeal to mathematics in the kind of work I’m doing. It’s like peeling back a bit of reality and figuring out how to change it."
Congratulations to the CAAM senior design team "Skewer Alignment for Skull Surgery" who won the People’s Choice Award at the Brown Engineering Design Showcase last week. The team members are: Wendy Knight, Alex Gardner, Evan Toler.
This is the first computer science fair hosted by the Rice University School Mathematics Project.
AAM graduate students Oscar Francisco Leong and Jonas Actor were honored by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship program, with Leong winning a fellowship and Actor receiving an honorable mention. Justin Dong '14, now at Brown, is also among the honorees.
The challenge was simple – can you cross the Rice University Recreation Center pool without getting wet? Seven teams answered the call at the first RCEL Splashdown Engineering Design Competition on March 31.
More than 90 scholars and students attended the Math + X Symposium on Data Science and Inverse Problems in Geophysics, funded by the Simons Foundation.
