Awards
We are very proud of the accomplishments of our lab members. Here we list some of our members' accomplishments that have come from their research experience at MEGL:
- In 2018, Marvin Castellon has been accepted in the mathematics PhD program at UC, Berkeley with the Chancellor's Fellowship.
- In 2017, Stephanie Mui was accepted to the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU with a full research fellowship to pursue her PhD. Stephanie is GMU's youngest graduate. Here is NBC coverage and FOX coverage. Washington Post article.
- Tim Reid was accepted in 2017 to NC State to start a PhD program in computational algebra (with a "signing bonus"),
- Mae Markowski was accepted in 2017 to a PhD program in Computational and Applied Mathematics at Rice University.
- Jermain McDermott will begin a PhD program at the University of Maryland, College Park in 2017 (he won numerous research fellowships and scholarships, but alas, could not accept them all),
- Stephanie Mui has won the regional competition to compete in the 2016 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair based on her MEGL work on embedding geometric surfaces in 3D (see examples of her 3D prints and 3D movies of tori and spheres). At the IISEF in Arizona she won the first place award of $2000 from American Mathematics Society.
- Tim Reid won an OSCAR grant to do research in MEGL during Fall 2016.
- Austin Alderete was accepted into the PhD program at UT-Austin in 2016.
- Austin Alderete has won the 2016 National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship in Mathematical Sciences - Algebra, Number Theory, and Combinatorics based on his MEGL research during Summer 2015 and Fall 2015 under the tab Polytopes.
