Abstract

Three CSEM Graduate students summarize some of their current work.

Biography

1: Allison Torsey is a second-year PhD student in Dr. David Paydarfar lab group in the Dell Medical School. Her work mainly revolves around understanding apneas in premature infants and modeling lung dynamics.

2: Samuel Majors is a second-year PhD student with a background in aerospace engineering. He is advised by Dr. Karen Willcox, and works on model reduction for supersonic and hypersonic flows in collaboration with Sandia National Laboratories.

3: Jacob Badger is a second-year PhD student working with Dr. Leszek Demkowicz. He received his BS in Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering from Brigham Young University, where he was introduced to computational modeling through work on curved-fold origami.
