Through his research, Mazari-Armida showed that there are universal models in the class of torsion abelian groups for purity.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am incredibly honored to have won the Sacks Prize,\u201d Mazari-Armida said. \u201cI am very grateful to my advisor Rami Grossberg for all of his support.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also acknowledged that many of the results in his thesis rely on significant developments achieved by other researchers throughout the years. In addition of solving several problems in algebra and discovering unexpected connections between ring theory and model theory of AECs, Mazari-Armida also worked in pure model theory building on and continuing prior work of previous doctoral students in Carnegie Mellon\u2019s Department of Mathematical Sciences, including Monica VanDieren, Will Boney and Sebastien Vasey, contributing to the development of a conceptual infrastructure to an alternative attack on Shelah’s conjectures.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thank them for the beautiful mathematics they developed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Grossberg said that the Sacks Prize is an incredible recognition of Mazari-Armida.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a mathematician, Marcos has advanced the field in extraordinary ways. I look forward to seeing what he accomplishes next,\u201d Grossberg said.<\/p>\n
Mazari-Armida is the second student of Grossberg to win the prize. The first was Vasey, who won in 2017.<\/p>\n

She worked to make its weekly tea times a comfortable place for students and professors. As a member of the board of the Math Club, she expanded that board to 12 members.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted people who were excited about making the math department a more diverse community and pointing out issues like diversity, equity and inclusion,\u201d Khunger said.<\/p>\n
Khunger also pours passion into research and academic work. Khunger collaborated on three papers regarding number theory before graduating and is now a Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan.<\/p>\n
Maggie Braun, associate dean for undergraduate affairs, is proud of Khunger\u2019s accomplishments.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe embodies all that a student receiving this type of award should \u2014 she is a strong advocate for women in science and math, she empowers others to reach their fullest potential and she is passionate about Carnegie Mellon and the Mellon College of Science,\u201d Braun said.<\/p>\n

Mathematical Sciences\u2019 Junichi Koganemaru receives Young Teaching Award<\/h1>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#172741″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
J<\/span>unichi Koganemaru, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, earned the Hugh D. Young Graduate Student Teaching Award.<\/p>\nKoganemaru attributes much of his teaching skills to his advisor, Ian Tice, associate professor of mathematical sciences and past winner of a faculty teaching award. Inspired by Tice, Koganemaru provided students with over 250 pages of notes when he taught Matrices and Linear Transformations.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes, students are so busy taking notes that they forget to follow the flow of the lecture,\u201d Koganemaru said. \u201cIn math, you\u2019re trying to follow through with thought and the stream of logical thought and being interrupted by writing could take away from that experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
On evaluations, Koganemaru consistently rates between above average and excellent, and students comment on his preparedness and dedication.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople think of mathematics as formulas and memorizing and doing calculations. A huge part of the subject is about point of view and communication and how to explain ideas,\u201d Koganemaru said. \u201cI really enjoy trying to pinpoint the right point of view so that the students can see what I see.\u201d<\/p>\n

M<\/span>athematical Sciences and Physics major William Knauth of the Carnegie Mellon University men\u2019s golf team was named the 2022 Byron Nelson Award presented by Srixon\/Cleveland Golf.<\/p>\nKnauth, who graduated in May, was recognized for his achievement in the classroom, on the course and in his community.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would never expect anything like this,\u201d Knauth said. \u201cIt\u2019s the greatest honor I could ever be given as a college golfer and, most importantly, as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n
Knauth is the second Division III athlete to win the award, joining Washington & Lee\u2019s Nathaniel James (2008). The Williamsport, Pennsylvania, native volunteered for the LiveLikeLou Foundation to support ALS awareness, education and treatment. Knauth also volunteered time with The Education Partnership in Pittsburgh, which helps teachers in local schools with supplies and support with STEM education and activities, the Homeless Children\u2019s Education Fund supporting homeless children in Pittsburgh, the First Church in Williamsport, preparing meals for elderly residents, and FreshCheckDay at Carnegie Mellon, an event to raise mental health awareness and support on campus and in the community.<\/p>\n
Knauth set the Carnegie Mellon program record for lowest individual round and tied the school record for the lowest 36-hole tournament score during the 2021-22 season while earning UAA Player of the Year and UAA Championship Most Valuable Golfer. He led Division III as an individual with an adjusted scoring average of 71.00 through 22 rounds last season. He also was a finalist for the NCAA Division III Jack Nicklaus National Player of the Year Award.<\/p>\n
\u201cWill has worked extremely hard for everything he\u2019s gotten, and I think that he deserves this,\u201d said head coach Dan Rodgers.<\/p>\n

Sereesuchart selected as Goldwater Scholar<\/h1>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#172741″ global_colors_info=”{}”]K<\/span>hunpob Sereesuchart was awarded a Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship last spring for his academic performance, commitment to research and future ambitions.<\/p>\nSereesuchart, who is now a senior, is simultaneously pursuing a bachelor\u2019s degree in mathematical sciences with a minor in computer science and a master\u2019s degree in mathematical sciences as part of the Department of Mathematical Sciences\u2019 honors program.<\/p>\n
He is passionate about his research with Giovanni Leoni, professor of mathematical sciences, which investigates the calculus of variations, partial differential equations and geometric measure theory. These techniques are used to investigate real-world objects based on their properties, like seeing how heat flows in solid metal based on where the heat is coming from.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy area of research draws from a lot of fields of like analysis, which is my main focus,\u201d Sereesuchart said. \u201cIt\u2019s really good seeing all of these different pieces that don\u2019t really look related fall into place.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sereesuchart also served as a teaching assistant for Vector Analysis, an honors course taught by Leoni. The course covers a range of topics, including Euclidean spaces and derivative maps, and it shows students how they can apply some of these mathematical ideas into real-world applications. He helps his fellow students comprehend these complex concepts and he works with them to explore their interests with the material.<\/p>\n
Outside of his classes, Sereesuchart participates in Math Club activities, and he assists with the Carnegie Mellon Informatics and Mathematics Competition (CMIMC), an annual event for high school students. He has volunteered with CMIMC since his first year, starting off as a problem writer then moving to graphic design, creating the competition\u2019s flyers and T-shirts.<\/p>\n
Seeresuchart said he plans to use the skills learned from his teaching assistantship and research to pursue a Ph.D. He appreciates the help the scholarship and his mentors have given him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am grateful for all of the support of CMU staff, including my research mentor, Dr. Leoni, for helping me to get this far,\u201d Sereesuchart said. \u201cThis scholarship has reaffirmed my decisions, and I cannot wait to continue my studies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Quant Club held two major student competitions this past year. On Feb. 19, the club held the all-day Quantathon, sponsored by Goldman Sachs where student teams flexed their math muscles for a chance to win up to $2,000. On March 26, Carnegie Mellon University students participated in the Market Making Game, sponsored by Optiver, a trading firm that specializes in improving the market.<\/p>\n
During the Quantathon, students were given a gambling problem designed by Steve Shreve, professor emeritus of mathematical sciences. The students were told that they had two coins, and they did not know if each coin was fair or how often the coins would land on heads or tails.<\/p>\n
Organizers asked the teams: based on information from previous coin flips, how could you most efficiently bet on the game?<\/p>\n
\u201cThe teams that did well all had the correct numerical answer to the most challenging part, but some of them based it on intuitions and simulations with Python, and others had very elegant ways of demonstrating that the answer was correct,\u201d said William Hrusa, professor of mathematical sciences and advisor to the Quant Club.<\/p>\n
Though most teams found a correct answer, the winning team members made their solution applicable no matter how many coins are involved.<\/p>\n
\u201cInstead of coding these well-known formulas that most other teams did, the winning team went ahead and did these rigorous bounds, rigorous proofs of these terms,\u201d said Gan Yang, former president of the Quant Club and a senior mathematical sciences student. \u201cThey were able to generalize those results into the bigger case where there’s more than two coins.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quant Club members are hoping that the positive experience will draw more participants to future events.<\/p>\n
During the Market Making Game, students worked in groups to solve problems and make trades. In each round, they were given 10 minutes to solve math problems and estimate a trade\u2019s worth. Then for 30 minutes, they rushed around the room as if they were Wall Street traders, attempting to get the best deal possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cGive a bunch of 20-year-olds a game and fake cash and they go crazy,\u201d Yang joked. \u201cIt\u2019s meant to be messy and energetic. It\u2019s not like our other events.\u201d<\/p>\n
During each round, students were given tips by Optiver staffers like Leon Chang, a Carnegie Mellon College of Engineering alumnus who now works as an Optiver software engineer. He said CMU prepared him well for his work, and he was excited that Optiver decided to sponsor the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really like people who enjoy challenges,\u201d Chang said.<\/p>\n
Six teams received awards at the end of the day. Three teams were picked for Estimation (how close they got to the actual value of the stock), and three teams were picked for Trading (how much money they were able to make during the game). The first-place teams for Estimation and Trading, Exit Liquidity and LDS joined Optiver Traders for a celebratory dinner.<\/p>\n
