Several students from the DePaul mathematics community spent their summers engaging in full-time mathematical research. Some students conducted research with DePaul faculty as part of the Undergraduate Summer Research Program, while others conducted research at external institutions. Regardless of location, students learned to ask and answer their own questions, and even proved things that had never been proven before! So cool!
At the end of the summer, the following students came together and presented their work at the 2024 Mathematical Sciences Summer Research Showcase:
- Rose Bittle, Modifications to the Spiral Array
- Clara Campos, Optimal Transportation on Histograms (Research mentor: Dr. Enrico Au-Yeung)
- Erik Dahlen, The Imbalance of a vector in a d-dimensional hypercube and the Eulerian numbers (Research mentor: Dr. T. Kyle Petersen)
- Joosung Lee, Imbalance and Eulerian numbers (Research mentor: Dr. T. Kyle Petersen)
- Owen Levens, Bijection, Collaboration, and Perseverance in Global Pattern Avoidance (Research mentor: Dr. Bridget Tenner)
- Blair Johnson, Odd-Even Transposition Sort (Research mentor: Dr. T. Kyle Petersen)
- Nicholas Oses Frola, Finding Frobenius Symmetry for Four Element Sets (Research mentor: Dr. David Sher)
- Olivia Medina, 2D Conical Radon Transform used in Medical Imaging (Research mentor: Dr. Enrico Au-Yeung)
