Nicole Abreu is an undergraduate student pursuing a B.S. in Mathematics and a Minor in Political Science. Learn about why she chose mathematics at FAU, her recent visit to the Florida Capitol during FAU Day, and more. Read more.
Kenneth "Alex" Dowling, Combined BS and MS, Mathematical SciencesJoining FAU High School his junior year and beginning his coursework at Florida Atlantic in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Kenneth “Alex” Dowling immediately displayed his enthusiasm and exceptional talent for mathematics. As he quickly advanced to graduate-level coursework in his senior year, Alex also began undergraduate research.
Alex’s honors thesis, which he worked under the supervision of Erik Lundberg, Ph.D., studies the topology of random cubical complexes. A joint paper has been submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed research journal - click here to view the preprint.
Amaury Miniño, BS With Honors, Mathematical SciencesAmaury’s research interests lie in algebra and combinatorial approaches to solving algebraic problems. He is currently researching Kostant's weight multiplicity formula for the exception of Lie algebra of type G2. This research has been submitted for publication, and Amaury plans on continuing to study the use of combinatorics in solving problems.
Maury holds two positions in the Math Department and provides strong leadership for FAU’s Math Club. While a student, he worked for two years as both an LA and a tutor in the Math Learning Center (MLC) as a Learning Assistant (LA) for Calculus 2. Amaury successfully re-established the Math Club at FAU and served as the President for two years. Soon to graduate, Amaury stepped down from my E-board position to allow new students to continue organizing the Math Club.
Omar Eldaghar, BS with Honors, Mathematical SciencesSince graduating from FAU with honors in Spring 2017, Omar Eldaghar completed a Summer internship at Oak Ridge National Lab in Summer 2017. In the summer of 2018, Omar presented a paper based on his senior thesis that was accepted for a "full paper" (15% acceptance rate) at The 2018 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining.
Omar is currently a graduate student at Purdue University, where he was awarded the Ross Fellowship.
Congratulations, Mr. Eldaghar!
Catherine Berrouet BS, Mathematics CandidateMs. Catherine Berrouet took a Preparation for Industrial Careers (PIC) mathematics course sponsored by the Moffitt Cancer Research Center during the spring, 2017. Catherine and her team member, Jake Nadulek, collaborated during the course, and have co-authored a paper they will present at the Mathematical Association of America's (MAA) MathFest, July 26-29, 2017.
Catherine has submitted the same paper to FAU's Office for Undergraduate Research and Inquiry (OURI) in hopes that their paper will be accepted for publication in the 2018 OURI Journal.
Catherine plans to attend the Mathematical Modeling 3-day workshop at George Mason University, June 28-July 1, 2017. Catherine Berrouet will graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in the Fall, 2017.
Elizabeth Manzano BS, Mathematics CandidateMs. Elizabeth Manzano and her colleagues have authored a paper entitled, "A Mathematical Model to Predict Tumor Responses to Cancer Drugs Based on Dose-Response Curves in the Continuous Case." Elizabeth expects to graduate with a BS in Mathematics in Spring, 2018.
Elizabeth intends to go work in the aerospace field as a statistician or analyst and then go to graduate school once she gains experience and firmly decides on which career she loves the best!
Elizabeth loves cultivating tropical fruit trees and medicinal plants and will continue with her music studies.
Christopher Rutherford, BA, Mathematics CandidateMr. Christopher Rutherford is planning to participate in the AMALTHEA (Advances of Machine Learning in Theory & Applications) program, a 10-week, summer research experience (REU) funded by the National Science Foundation during the Summer, 2018.
Christopher is also pursuing a minor in Computer Science and enjoys collaborating with his colleagues here in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Florida Atlantic University.
