David Clark
PhD Candidate
Discrete Mathematics
Advisor: Vladimir Tonchev
My mathematical interests are in geometry, error-correcting codes, and designs. In my research, I study the math that lets computers, cell phones, and satellites communicate over long distances and static-filled connections. We find surprising links between geometry, quantum computers, and everyday communications.

Erin Thomas
PhD Candidate
Mathematics and Statistics
My mathematical interests are in applied statistics and mathematical modeling. The world is filled with mathematical patterns and data on both the numerical and qualitative levels. I enjoy using mathematical models and data analysis to make sense of and find effective uses for these patterns in the areas of teaching, genetics, and data mining.

My major research interests are in combinatorial commutative algebra. Much of this work supports research in enumerative combinatorics, algebraic geometry, and algebraic number theory.
Surprisingly, the study of polynomials is one of the most important aspects of commutative algebra.

Mohammad Al-Jamal
PhD Candidate
Applied Mathematics
Advisor: Mark Gockenbach
My research involves solving inverse problems in partial differential equations.
Our goal is to develop efficient and powerful methods to solve inverse problems in medical applications, biomechanical systems, hydrology, geophysics, and material sciences.

Shurong Fang
PhD Candidate
Statistics
Advisor: Qiuying Sha and Shuanglin Zhang
I am working on Statistical Genetics. In my study, I use statistical models and methods to address problems in genetic studies of human health and disease. My recent work is genetic association studies, interaction analysis, and rare variant analysis.
