Alex D. Rodriguez is a third year graduate student and a valued member of the department. Alex has worked diligently to publish a paper regarding his work on Partial Differential Equations with Professor Roudenko and Dr. Riano. The three of them are continuing their impressive work on an NSF-funded grant with the hopes of future publications. Alex is also working on some smaller projects. He is the head of the Directed Reading Program and a mentor in our Research Exeperience for Undergrads. Alex has presented at national conferences regarding his work and aims to continue pioneering in the field of partial differential equations. Alex takes every oppritunity to show his support for mentors, peers, and students. There is rarely a mathematics event without Alex's aid. Alex is also known for his ever present assistance and was recently re-elected as Vice President of the Students in Graduate Mathematics Association. Alex serves as an anchor for all to make sure that we, as a department, always focus on our core values. He always does his best to help the program and all parties in it. Alex's sense of humor and supportive nature ensures the department is a welcoming place. We appreciate you, Alex.
