Spring 2023 Graduate Student Showcase

This semster, we want to celebrate our graduate student, Melissa De Jesus. Her research with Dr. Ciprian Gal related to the Cahn-Hilliard equation has been truly impressive and has enabled her to present at the national conference, "2023 Joint Mathematics Meeting" and "Southeastern Atlantic Regional Conference for Differential Equations". Furthermore, her involvement as a committee member of the "Subtropic Symposium for Upcoming Mathematicians" is enabling opportunities for young mathematicians to showcase their work and gain valuable insights from their peers in the field. Her notable research has landed her a research internship at Lawrence Livermore National Lab this summer. Additionally, her role as a mentor during the recent REU, serving as Social media coordinator for the graduate student group "SiGMA", and serving as a graduate advisory board member for FIU has been a testament to her commitment to the development of young mathematicians. Lastly, her tireless efforts towards establishing a chapter of AWM are truly commendable and will undoubtedly have a positive impact on mathematicians that graduate from FIU. Thank you, Melissa, for your dedication and contributions to mathematics programs here at FIU. We appreciate you Melissa.
