“Daria has had a tremendous impact on the departmental culture and the graduate student body,” said Béatrice Rivière, the Noah G. Harding Chair and Professor. “She is committed to the academic success of the graduate students. She takes care of them during their time at Rice. We will miss her very much.”
By training, Jonas Actor is a mathematician. He uses neural networks and partial differential equations to improve image segmentation in the diagnosis of liver cancer.
