Krishnamoorthy Outstanding Doctoral Mentor

Dr. Krishnamoorthy was honored by the graduate school as one of five Outstanding Doctoral Mentors for 2019-2020. Our most productive PhD advisor, Krishnamoorthy has directed 28 PhD's!

Bayard and Kane graduate summa cum laude!

Mathematics graduates Christopher Andrew Bayard and Maxwell Reigner Kane are among the ten college of sciences graduates (27 university graduates) who graduated summa cum laude!

As noted above, the Spring 2021 class stands out for academic achievement. Overall, twenty-seven undergraduate students were recognized as summa cum laude graduates for achieving 4.0 GPAs. The group is the largest ever to earn perfect GPAs. The ten honorees from the college of sciences are:

Good News from the LA MS MAA Meeting

Several people from our department participated in the 2021 Virtual Section Meeting of the Louisiana / Mississippi Mathematical Association of America Section on Saturday 27 February 2021 and Saturday 6 March 2021.

Our math majors competed in the annual LA/MS MAA Conference competitions and did very well.

For the second year in a row, mathematics major Maxwell Reigner Kane was awarded 1st place in the student paper/presentation competition.

Mathematicians are people too!

Math Professor Receives Disease Modeling Research Grant

Professor Hayriye Gulbudak of our Department of Mathematics received a three year NSF grant with total funding of $240,000 from the National Science Foundation, Modeling Across-Scale Feedback of Pathogen Virulence, Host Immunity, and Disease Control.

Math professors receive funding to formulate models that may offer clearer picture of COVID-19’s spread

Professors Cameron Browne and Hayriye Gulbudak of our Department of Mathematics received a nearly $200,000 from the National Science Foundation, Epidemiological and Phylogenetic Models for Contact-Based Control of COVID-19, to examine the effectiveness of social distancing and other measures that aim to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

In the news - Cameron Browne quoted

Our Cameron Browne is quoted in a recent WIRED article as follows:

“Contact tracing is giving you an idea about how many people are being infected, along with a control strategy to stop those people that you've tracked from infecting” others, said Cameron Browne, a mathematical biologist at the University of Louisiana studying the virus’s spread in China. “You need to know where these clusters of cases are coming from and how strong the transmission is going forward. So it is both a control and a surveillance.”
