PhD Students

I'm a PhD student in Mathematical Sciences from Redmond, Washington and I'm particularly interested in discrete math. Aside from math, I love art and being near the ocean.

  I am a PhD student in Statistics at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Economics and my Master's degree in Statistics. My research interests focus on data analysis, and I am eager to explore innovative methods and applications in this field.

I'm a PhD student in Applied Math. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Theoretical & Applied Mechanics from Fudan University in China, and two Master's Degrees, one in Pure Math from Brandeis University, the other in Applied Math (Numerical Methods) from RPI. My current research focuses on the PDE modeling of swelling gels and its linear stability analysis (theoretically and numerically). Apart from research, I also have dozens of hobbies, including almost all kinds of sports, painting, chess, cooking, etc. (semi-professional in Chinese cuisine, volleyball and pool) for my free time.

Shuaichuan earned his master degree in Financial Mathematics at WPI and now he is a PhD student in Statistics. He is interested in statistical genetics.

I am a PhD student interested in applied math. Before I came to WPI I worked as a community college math instructor in Washington. 

Abigail Rose Drumm (née Lindner) is an aspiring applied mathematician exploring mathematical biology problems related to bacteria and filtration with Dr. Francesca Bernardi. Before joining WPI in 2022, she attended Regent University, a liberal arts college in Virginia Beach, VA, where she graduated magna cum laude with a B.S. in Mathematics.Originally from China and raised in Southern California, Abigail now calls Massachusetts home. Outside of mathematics, she enjoys practicing yoga, reading a variety of fiction (any genre but horror!), trying new vegan recipes, and drinking oatmilk ...

I grew up in Baltimore then moved to western New York for my undergraduate studies. I’ve taken an interest in differential equations, dynamical systems, and data science and am pursuing these at WPI.  

I am a PhD student in Mathematical Sciences at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I completed my one year master's degree from African Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Ghana in July 2024 and my Bachelor's Degree in Education, Mathematics from Makerere University, Uganda in August 2022. I am very passionate about solving problems in Mathematical Biology.

Aishat Olaosebikan is a Nigerian with a passion for Statistics. She grew up in a family of two in ilorin kwara State Nigeria. She holds a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in Statistics from Kwara State University. She was an assistant lecturer at Kwara State University. She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Statistics with interest in big data analytics and data mining.

Hammed is a PhD student in Statistics with a strong interest in Bayesian methods. His research focuses on Bayesian analysis of time series data, spatial statistics, high-dimensional data, and small area estimation. He holds an MS in Applied Statistics from WPI, and a BS in Statistics from University of Ibadan, Nigeria. He is working under the supervision of Professor Balgobin Nandram on developing and applying Bayesian Vector Autoregressive (BVAR) and Conditional Autoregressive (CAR) models. His work aims to improve statistical inference in complex data structures, particularly in areas with ...

I am a second-year PhD student in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, under the supervision of Dr. Adam Sales. My research focuses on bridging the gap between the ideal causal analyses researchers aspire to conduct and the practical limitations posed by the data they have available.

Evan is from Chelmsford, Massachusetts and graduated from Brandeis University in 2020. Before and after graduation, he did computational research on the self-assembly of bacterial microcompartments and viral capsids. He then worked in the pharmaceutical industry before deciding to continue his education at WPI, where he is now a PhD candidate. He has a passion for math and music.

Hello I am Taorui, you can also call me Mason.I am interested in teaching math and applied novel engineering methods to solve complex math problems. I like fishing and hiking.

I am Zihang Xu, the second year PhD student in statistics. My research interest will be Bayesian Statistics. I graduated from Jilin University in China and got my master in George Washington University. My major was statistics.
