PhD Students

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.  

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. 

I am working with Dr. Nandram on applications of Bayesian statistics to survey methodology and small area estimation, nonparametric statistics, and Bayesian computation.
