Every summer, many of our students participate in various summer research programs. Students work as full participants in the processes of creating a research plan, executing a research project and preparing results for presentation in a public forum. Learn more about the research done by your fellow mathematics and statistics students.
This week's panelists include a couple of students who worked off-campus for their research.
- Kate Bogan '27 spent the summer participating in the Ohio 5 Summer Undergraduate Research Experience, a program specifically for students from small, liberal arts colleges in Ohio. Using R simulations, she looked at different methods of evaluating vaccine efficacy, comparing a non-parametric method with an ordinal regression method.
- Lucas Waite '28 researched Extremal graph theory at IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute and continued research after the program. Lucas’s focus was on bipartite Extremal numbers and ultimately culminated in an observation about the extremal number for a specific class of trees. The research is still ongoing, but Lucas hopes to address some open problems posed by Yair Caro, Balázs Patkós, and Zsolt Tuza in their recent paper “Bipartite Turán number of trees.”
Join us on Monday, Sept. 15, at 3:10 pm in Hayes Hall 109 to hear these exciting presentations and perhaps learn how you too can get involved in summer research programs. We hope to see you there!
