Mathematics & Statistics

Blending math, biology, computer science and engineering, four undergraduates and their mentor, Hwayeon Ryu, are developing a mathematical model in a three-year, $300,000 project funded by the National Science Foundation. In the process, they’re finding their future paths.

This semester, students from STS 4980: Statistics Practicum joined forces with LabCorp Aviation for a unique data analysis project.

Hwayeon Ryu, assistant professor of mathematics, published a paper in Journal of Theoretical Biology on investigating stochastic behaviors in the macrophage differentiation process.

Trocki, associate professor of mathematics, presented his research at the Transforming STEM Higher Education Conference hosted by the American Association of Colleges and Universities on November 3.

Hwayeon Ryu, assistant professor of mathematics, attended a research collaboration meeting funded by American Institute of Mathematics, held October 23-27, 2023 at Caltech Campus.

The event was planned by Elon's leadership team overseeing a six-year, $377,800 grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to transform first-year STEM experiences and promote belonging in STEM programs among historically underrepresented groups.

Trocki, associate professor of mathematics, presented his research at the Forty-Fifth Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for Psychology of Mathematics Education on October 2.

Professor Crista Arangala from the Department of Mathematics & Statistics will oversee a new program designed to teach data competency through campus centers and academic programs that support student learning and faculty development. 

Emily Elrod, Kristen Mazur, Brittany Riggs and Aaron Trocki presented at MathFest, the annual meeting of the Mathematical Association of America, Aug. 2-5.

Elrod, lecturer in mathematics and statistics, was named a 2023 Project NExT Fellow through the Mathematical Association of America.
