Igor Pak is a Professor of Mathematics at UCLA with research interests in Combinatorics, continuing a strong tradition of this subject at UCLA that began in the 1940s. Pak’s interests range from polyhedral geometry, questions about tilings and lattices; his interests now include also topics […]
Wes Campbell is the principal investigator at the Campbell Group inside UCLA Physics. He leads a team that is using ultra cold Barium 133 to create trapped ion systems. These trapped ions easily display their quantum states, acting as qubits for quantum computing. Wes was […]
Terrence George researches dimer models, which model spin states in physics; he is especially interested what happens in larger lattices. Such mathematical models are used by physicists to investigate statistical mechanics in extreme conditions and at phase transitions of matter. Terrence has been working with […]
Jason Xu is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Biomathematics at UCLA primarily interested in developing statistical methods for non-convex optimization problems. He participated in IPAM’s summer research program for students, RIPS, as a student in 2012 and as an academic mentor in […]
