Doctoral Student Profiles

I am currently a second year PhD student in Applied Mathematics. I received my master degree in Financial Mathematics at WPI. My research mainly focuses on numerical methods for stochastic differential equations.

I enjoy all of mathematics, but I have a particular interest in Design Theory, Graph Theory, and General Topology. For my masters thesis, I developed a method of construction for the National Football League (NFL) game schedule, and I have independently studied connected and disconnected topological spaces.

This is Jiamin Jian, a Ph.D. student in Mathematical sciences. I got my Master's degree from the City University of Hong Kong in 2019 and my Bachelor's degree from Nankai University in 2018. At WPI, my advisor is Prof. Qingshuo Song. I am interested in Stochastic Control theory and Mean Field Games.

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

As a PHD student in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, I am looking forward to exploring interesting research topics, such as ensemble learning, in the field of Statistical Modeling and Analysis. I also enjoy communicating mathematical problems with both students and professors.

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

Interest in Computational and Statistical Mathematics in Finance

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.  

My name is Elisa Negrini and I am a PhD student in the Mathematical Sciences department. I come from Italy and obtained my undergraduate and master’s degree in Mathematics from the University of Bologna in 2015 and 2017, respectively. Since my first year as a PhD student, I have developed a strong interest in the mathematical foundations of data science problems; in particular, my research interests focus on deep neural networks which have demonstrated stunning empirical results across many applications (like vision, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning), but for which ...

My research areas are financial mathematics and stochastic analysis.
