Congratulations to Mateo Diaz, assistant professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, on receiving the prestigious NSF Early CAREER Award! ?? His project, “Scalable Optimization for Data Science: Complexity and Structure,” aims to address key challenges in fields like healthcare, energy, and finance by advancing optimization theory and algorithms. His work will focus on understanding why simple heuristics, like stochastic gradient descent, perform so well in complex settings. https://lnkd.in/dBQKwDcT

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a revolutionary method that tackles problem-solving even with incomplete or noisy data. Their approach enhances existing algorithms, helping industries like finance and logistics cut data costs without sacrificing accuracy. From predicting stock trends to streamlining supply chains, this breakthrough could cut costs and boost efficiency across the board. https://lnkd.in/gR_RRZ3e

Exciting News! Helyette Geman, professor in the Whiting School of Engineering’s Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, has just released her new book,?Investing with Art. The book explores the intersection of art and finance, diving into topics like the rise of female artists, the impact of NFTs, and art’s evolving value in today’s world. https://lnkd.in/eqgkhNBT

Congratulations to the department’s Kaze Wong, assistant research professor, Wilson Gregory, PhD candidate, and Soledad Villar, assistant professor, for receiving the 2024 Best Paper Award at NeurIPS! Their paper, "Robust Emulator for Compressible Navier-Stokes using Equivariant Geometric Convolutions," was presented at the NeurIPS Machine Learning for the Physical Sciences workshop. https://lnkd.in/esUAJ5YZ

Adrian Severino, a master’s student at Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering, is helping revolutionize infant heart monitoring with Miraheart—a cutting-edge, non-invasive device that uses light sensors to track heart activity and detect early signs of congestive heart failure. Through advanced simulations and 3D modeling, Adrian is refining the device to enhance accuracy and reliability, ensuring it provides life-saving insights for infants with heart defects. https://lnkd.in/eUwi-yEQ

Ioannis Kevrekidis, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor in Applied Mathematics and Statistics and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, is part of a research team studying a new mathematical model that reveals how small changes in water vapor movement could trigger major shifts in ocean currents—key to understanding potential tipping points in our climate. This research helps predict these shifts and highlights the vital connection between climate dynamics and applied mathematics. https://lnkd.in/e8wW872w

We’ve wrapped up another successful AMS NYC Grad Student Takeover! This event was a fantastic opportunity for our graduate students, featuring a full day of networking at the 2024 National Finance Quantitative Career Fair at NYU, followed by an insightful employer site visit to J.P. Morgan Chase. Our students had the privilege of hearing from a distinguished panel of AMS alumni: Rifat Chowdhury ’06, James P. Pettit ’98, David Kaminsky ’21, along with Columbia University alums Chun Kam Li and Anna Flieder, all now thriving at J.P. Morgan.

Huge congratulations to Joseph Paat, PhD ’17, on receiving the 2024 INFORMS Young Researcher Prize! His groundbreaking work on Δ-Modular Matrices, published in the SIAM Journal, has been recognized for advancing mathematical optimization theory. Joseph completed his PhD in Applied Math and Stats at Johns Hopkins under the supervision of Amitabh Basu and is now an assistant professor at UBC's Sauder School of Business. https://lnkd.in/eibPtUNW #INFORMS #Optimization #JHU #UBC #MathematicalOptimization
