Meet #NCUWM2024 invited grad panelist Juliette Mukangango, a fifth-year Ph.D. student in statistics at Colorado School of Mines. Her research interests include robust statistics and spatial data analysis. Juliette is originally from Rwanda and enjoys traveling and lifting weights.
Meet #NCUWM2024 panelist, Dr. Erin McNicholas, professor of mathematics at Willamette University. Her research interests include algebraic combinatorics, algebraic voting theory, graph theory and cryptography.
Meet #NCUWM2024 invited grad panelist Kirsten Morris, a third-year graduate student researching coding theory at University of Nebraska-Lincoln who is a Graduate Fellow for STEM Diversity (GFSD). Originally from Savannah, Kirsten loves traveling, learning about new cultures and creative endeavors.
Meet #NCUWM2024 panelist Dr. Anisah Nu’Man, an assistant professor of mathematics at Spelman College and University of Nebraska-Lincoln alumna. Nu'Man's research interests lie in geometric group theory and mathematics educations, particularly approaches to alternative grading.
Meet #NCUWM2024 invited grad panelist Mychelle Parker, a sixth-year graduate student studying number theory at UC Santa Barbara. In her free time, she enjoys playing board games, baking, and playing with Matches (her cat)!
Meet #NCUWM2024 plenary speaker Dr. Emily Riehl professor in the Department of Mathematics at John Hopkins working on higher category theory and homotopy type theory. She is a contributor to the HoTTEST Summer School, n-Category Café, Spectra and nLab.
Meet #NCUWM2024 panelist Dr. Angela Robinson, a mathematician in the Computer Security Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Her research focuses on all aspects of code-based cryptography in the hamming metric and privacy-enhancing cryptography. math.unl.edu/ncuwm
Meet #NCUWM2024 invited grad panelist Shelby Stowe, a fifth-year graduate student at Colorado School of Mines studying mathematical biology. Shelby attended NCUWM as an undergraduate and is looking forward to participating again as a graduate student. math.unl.edu/ncuwm
Meet #NCUWM2024 panelist Dr. Elizabeth Wilmer, a second-year rotating program director at the U.S. National Science Foundation and professor of mathematics at Oberlin College. As an undergraduate at Harvard University, she was one of the co-winners of the Alice T. Schafer prize in its first year.
Some views from our panel discussion on careers using math with Amanda Carr (NSA/CSS), Erin McNicholas (Willamette University), Joana Perdomo (Raytheon Missiles & Defense), Angela Robinson (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and Kelley Yancey (Institute for Defense Analyses)
Ending the day with a banquet and random bits of advice panel featuring Dr. Emily Riehl (Johns Hopkins University), Dr. Erika Tatiana Camacho (UTSA) and Dr. Anisah Nu’Man (Spelman College)! What was your favorite part of day one?
#NCUWM2024 day 2 kicked off with student talks and graduate school panels before our second Plenary talk from Dr. Emily Riehl (Johns Hopkins University)! We loved her talk on “Categorizing Cardinal Arithmetic”.
