Pelin Guven Geredeli, an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics and CoMFRE affiliate, is conducting two projects that hope to advance multiphase-flow discoveries. New techniques for fluid-structure interactions The NSF-Applied Mathematics research project “Control Theory, Qualitative Analysis, and Approximation of Coupled Structure-Flow Interaction Systems” intends to generate novel techniques to analyze well-posedness, develop control … Continue reading A project and a conference: Insight to FSI PDE modeling behavior
Iowa State Mathematics Research Teams (ISMaRT) engage ISU undergraduate students in mathematical research in teams. Each team of 2-4 undergraduates is led by a postdoctoral research associate and also contains a faculty member and a graduate student. Credit Undergraduates in ISMaRT may receive up to 2 credits of Math 490 for participation in ISMaRT upon … Continue reading Applications for ISMaRT Spring 2023

Event designed to spark interest in mathematics and boost representation of women in STEM fields.
In December 2021, 15 ISU students took the William Lowell Putnam Mathematics Exam, the premier collegiate mathematics competition in North America. The exam consists of 12 problems (10 points each) completed over two 3-hour sessions. In most years the median score is less than one full correct problem. This year almost 3000 students competed from … Continue reading Putnam Mathematics Exam Results
