IMPACT

A team of Oregon State University researchers have received a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation to identify, model, predict, track and mitigate the effects of future pandemics.

Pre-med Honors student Saki Nakai double majored in psychology and mathematics, completing a French minor abroad. Next year, a Fulbright award will support her research in Luxembourg.

Seed funding from the College of Science Research and Innovation Seed (SciRIS) program continues to bolster ambitious and expansive research projects across biomedical science, fluid dynamics, quantum mechanics and more.

Alumni profile of Epidemiologist and public health data scientist Peter Banwarth.

Congratulations to Vrushali Bokil and Nathan Gibson, who were awarded $225K funding from NSF’s Computational Mathematics program for their project "Computational and Multi-Scale Methods for Nonlinear Electromagnetic Models in Plasmas and Nanocomposites".

Megan Tucker will graduate next month with a substantial amount of research experience under her belt: She was awarded the Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship, which gave her the opportunity to work on an interdisciplinary team at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in Albany, Oregon, during the summer of 2019. The new knowledge gained from her internship helped her land a job as a technical writer with Amazon Web Services — a subsidiary of Amazon that provides on-demand cloud computing platforms to individuals, companies and governments.

The 2019-2020 Larry Martin and Joyce B. O’Neill Fellowship was awarded to fifth-year mathematics Ph.D. student Choah Shin for high achievement in computational modeling.

Mathematics graduate student Ruby Chick pursues interdisciplinary research on microplastics through the National Science Foundation Research Traineeship Program at Oregon State University.

Mathematics Professor Juan Restrepo has been elected a 2019 Fellow of the American Physical Society.

Mathematics senior Rachel Sousa found her passion in mathematical biology, motivated to work harder and break barriers in the notoriously male-dominated field.

OSU scientists take an interdisciplinary approach to human health, working across the life, physical and mathematical sciences to spur fresh thinking and innovations.

Alumni profile of Kirana Bergstrom, who received a masters with a focus in applied mathematics and scientific computation.

The inaugural ART:SCI Lecture, “Venn pirouettes: Changing the way the world sees math” by painter Michael Schultheis will be held October 24, 2018.

The NSF Research Traineeship project on “Risk and Uncertainty Quantification in Marine Science” at OSU is preparing a new generation of natural resource scientists.

Three Mathematics graduate students have been funded by the NRT@OSU program. These three students describe their experiences in this innovative and highly transdisciplinary program.

The mathematics faculty at OSU are involved in world class research that is deep in mathematical innovation, broad and diverse in its application, and collaborative, interdisciplinary and international in its nature.

Congratulations to Assistant Professor David Koslicki who was recently awarded an NIH grant from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences.

Mathematician employs statistical models to address uncertainties in climate science.

Congratulations Professor Juan M. Restrepo, who was recently named Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.

Professor of Mathematics Malgo Peszynska is elected President of the Pacific Northwest Section of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.

The 2018 Lonseth Lecture in the Department of Mathematics will feature mathematician Henri Berestycki from the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) in Paris, France.

The Spring 2017 Milne Lecture features Michael I. Jordan, Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Berkeley on the analytical challenges of big data.

The 2017 Milne lecture welcomes Professor Michael I. Jordan (University of California, Berkeley) presenting his talk, "On Computational Thinking, Inferential Thinking and Data Science."

Meet Tim Costa, interdisciplinary mathematician in graduate school at OSU.

The Department of Mathematics celebrated Mathematics Awareness Month in April 2015 with the Milne and Gilfillan Lectures.
