Columbia University SIAM Student Chapter News - Fall 2024

The Columbia University SIAM Student Chapter (CU SIAM) is back in business! With elections and new officers taking office this past October, CU SIAM has been hard at work to bring you events and news about applied mathematics. Through academic and social events, it hopes to bring the community together in this coming year ('24’-'25) and beyond.

CU SIAM recently held its inaugural event in collaboration with the Applied Mathematics (AM) Student Seminar, marking an exciting start to what promises to be a vibrant chapter for industrial, applied, and computational mathematics. The event featured a talk by Remy Kassem titled "Dispersive Decay Estimates for the SSH Model on the Full and Half Line," offering attendees an engaging introduction to applied mathematics research. Students from various backgrounds were able to explore cutting-edge techniques in dispersive PDE analysis over snacks and refreshments, and thus gain firsthand perspective on the kinds of problems tackled by researchers in the field.

Looking ahead, the chapter is gearing up for its next event, which is planned for December, just before finals week. Details will be announced soon, but attendees can expect another great opportunity to connect and prepare for academic and industrial careers.

With a growing roster of activities in the pipeline, CU SIAM is excited to continue fostering a dynamic community. Stay tuned for updates on future events and opportunities to engage with the fascinating and diverse world of applied math! If you are interested in CU SIAM, please fill out this form.
