Anna Kaminski, “A Climatology of Atmospheric Rivers Over the Northeast United States” Mentor: Clark Evans, Mathematical Sciences Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) are characterized by long, narrow corridors of enhanced integrated water vapor (IWV) and integrated vapor transport (IVT) located in the…… Read More
Jonathan Doria, “A Mathematical Model of the Disruption of the Glucose Homeostasis in Cancer Patients” Mentor: Peter Hinow, Mathematical Sciences In recent years much research has been done on how cancer can disrupt glucose homeostasis in people. Proliferating cancer cells…… Read More
Giorgio Sarro, “An Investigation of Post-Transition Extremes for Extratropically Transitioning Tropical Cyclones” Mentor: Clark Evans, Mathematical Sciences Extratropical transition (ET) is the process by which a tropical cyclone (i.e., hurricane) transforms into a non-tropical, or extratropical, cyclone after it encounters…… Read More
Brandon Selbig, “Climatology of Peak Wind Gusts Around Lake Michigan” Mentor: Jonathan Kahl, Mathematical Sciences Wind gusts are a major factor in different areas across not only the United States but different parts of the globe as they have different…… Read More
Noah Graff, “Generative Adversarial Networks: Ultrasound Image Translation” Mentors: Istvan Lauko & Adam Honts, Mathematical Sciences Low cost and highly portable ultrasound devices under development are designed to be equipped with low frequency ultrasound transducers that provide relatively low imaging…… Read More
Trevor Pedersen, “Mathematical Model of Liposome-Mediated Drug Delivery to Brain Capillary Networks” Mentor: Peter Hinow, Mathematical Sciences The process of delivering drugs to the brain is complicated by the presence of the blood-brain barrier. Recent research in pharmaceutical science has…… Read More
Alex Moxon, “Simulating Self-Assembly of Tornado Storm Chasers Using Agent-Based Modeling” Mentor: Paul Roebber, Mathematical Sciences Given the risk to public health and safety and the limited ability to forecast their occurrence, tornadoes are of great research interest to atmospheric…… Read More
Megan Biesmann, “The Relationship Between Severe Storms and Weather Regimes Over the US” Mentor: Paul Roebber, Mathematical Sciences Weather regimes are wind flow patterns that cover a large region, approximately the size of the continental United States, and they change…… Read More
