BIG Math Network: Industry Connection Series: How can faculty aid students who are transitioning to non-academic careers?

The Industry Connection Series features interactive panels with mathematical scientists working in industry. The goal is to connect mathematical sciences students directly with industry members who can answer student-generated questions. Students at all levels are welcome and encouraged to attend and ask questions. 
 
The next event is Tuesday, April 9th, 2024, at 3 pm ET, focusing on how faculty can aid students who are transitioning to non-academic careers. Panelists will be Greg Buzzard, Professor of Mathematics and Director of the Center for Computational and Applied Mathematics at Purdue University, Roman Holowinsky, Associate Professor of Mathematics at The Ohio State University (on leave) and Managing Director of The Erdős Institute, and Ralph C. Smith, Distinguished University Professor of Mathematics at North Carolina State University.

Event address: This event is now closed. Thank you to all who attended!

Greg Buzzard is Professor of Mathematics and Director of the Center for Computational and Applied Mathematics at Purdue University, where he served as Department Head from 2013 to 2020.  He has a PhD from the University of Michigan and held postdoctoral appointments at Indiana University and Cornell University before joining Purdue.  His research has led to theoretical advances in dynamical systems and experiment design and to new algorithms for image and volume reconstruction for a variety of sensing modalities. The unifying ideas in his recent work are iterative methods for image reconstruction and reduction of uncertainty through appropriate measurement schemes.

Roman Holowinsky is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at The Ohio State University (on leave) and Managing Director of The Erdős Institute. His research is in Analytic Number Theory, primarily L-functions and modular forms, and he is best known for his work on the Quantum Unique Ergodicity Conjecture.

Ralph C. Smith joined the North Carolina State University faculty in 1998 where he is presently a Distinguished University Professor of Mathematics.  He is the recipient of the 2016 ASME Adaptive Structures and Material Systems Prize and the SPIE 2017 Smart Structures and Materials Lifetime Achievement, and he was named a SIAM Fellow in 2018 and an ASME Fellow in 2022. His research areas include mathematical modeling of smart material systems, numerical methods for physical systems, Bayesian model calibration, sensitivity analysis, control, and uncertainty quantification for physical and biological systems.
