Southern California Applied Mathematics Symposium (SOCAMS) 2025

We are trilled to announce our department is organizing the Southern California Applied Mathematics Symposium (SOCAMS) 2025 on April 26th, 2025 at UC Riverside, and we are pleased to extend our warmest invitation to you to participate in the conference.

SOCAMS 2025 is a unique opportunity to connect and exchange ideas with researchers from universities throughout Southern California who work in all areas of Applied and Computational Mathematics. This one-day event is designed to provide a platform for young faculty, post-docs, and graduate students to showcase their research work in an informal and collaborative atmosphere.

This year’s plenary speakers (in alphabetical order) are (https://2025.socams.org/plenary-speakers):

1.  Mihai Cucuringu
2.  Natalia Komarova
3.  Bo Li
4.  Hrushikesh Mhaskar
5.  Maziar Raissi

Registration for all participants is required, but free thanks to generous support from SIAM, UCR Dean’s Office of College of Natural & Agricultural Sciences (CNAS), UCR Research and Economic Development (RED) and UCR Riverside Artificial Intelligence Research and Education Institute (RAISE).

You are welcome to submit an abstract for a talk or poster presentation. The registration deadline for participants with a talk or poster is April 4th, 2025, while those without presentations can register until April 11th, 2025. Lunch will be provided and informal networking is encouraged to facilitate collaborations and connections.

Mathematical Pathways to an Excellent Future 2025

March 11th, 2025 @ UCR

A one-day event featuring:

  • A diverse set of expository mathematics lectures that cover a wide range of topics within mathematics and which may be suitable for non-expert attendees.
  • A panel discussion on building a future with mathematics. Here, the speakers will talk about their paths within mathematics and answer questions from the audience.
  • Posters from graduate and undergraduate students. Two prizes will be awarded for the best undergraduate posters and two for the best graduate student posters. A panel of judges will select first and second-place winners, who will receive awards of $300 and $200, respectively.
  • A one-page essay competition focused on your journey in mathematics. This competition offers attendees a chance to discuss their experiences and interests in mathematics, including any challenges or successes they have faced. A panel will evaluate essays, with a $300 award for the best essay from an undergraduate student and the best from a graduate student. The panel of judges will determine the winners.

More information is available on the event page. Registration Required.

Title & Abstract


NIH/NCI T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship - Jennifer Rangel Ambriz
Jennifer Rangel Ambriz, UCR

Many congratulations to Jennifer Rangel Ambriz for receiving a prestigious NIH/NCI T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship. Jennifer, a former UCR Math student advised by Mark Alber, is currently a Postdoctoral Associate at City of Hope. Among her recent publications is the following paper, of which Jennifer is the co-first author:

Kumar, N., Rangel Ambriz, J., Tsai, K. et al. Balancing competing effects of tissue growth and cytoskeletal regulation during Drosophila wing disc development. Nature Communications 15, 2477 (2024).

More information of the paper can also be found in UCR press.


Microtutorials

UCR Microtutorial 2

The Microtutorials in Mathematics project team at UCR has conceived a new approach to producing a collection of micro-tutorials as supplementary instructional and learning materials. The intent is to assist the students and instructors to connect calculus with applications in various subject matters. The students could use them freely on any topics of their choice.  The videos are produced with follow-up questions to enable instructors to flip their classrooms if desired. For details, please visit its website: https://microtutorials.ucr.edu
