trefoil 2017 Organizing Committee

Casey Kelleher

Casey Kelleher is a fifth year UC Irvine President's Year Dissertation Fellow and NSF Graduate Research Fellow. She completed the blended Master's and Bachelor's degree program at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (2008-2012). Next year she will begin her NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship at Princeton University, researching geometric analysis.

-- Be brave, take risks and expose vulnerabilities. Without fear of embarrassment nothing can stop you from growing. --

Natalia Komarova

Natalia Komarova is a Professor at the Mathematics Department, UCI. She received her Masters in Theoretical Physics from Moscow State University and a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Arizona. She is interested in problems at the interface between mathematics and life sciences, including biology, medicine, social sciences, and linguistics.

-- My advice for students is to do something interesting, something fun, something intellectually challenging. Don’t be afraid of failing because interesting projects, even if unsuccessful, will illuminate the way for further projects and future success. --

Christopher Lopez

Christopher Lopez is a sixth year UC Irvine PhD student who conducts research in geometric analysis. He obtained a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Columbia University in 2011 and a master's degree in mathematics from UC Irvine in 2013. He will begin a NSF postdoctoral fellowship this fall at UC Santa Barbara, where he will continue to conduct research in geometric analysis.



Alessandra Pantano

Alessandra Pantano is a Lecturer with Security of Employment at the Mathematics Department, UCI. She received her PhD in Mathematics from the Princeton University, but did most of her dissertation work at MIT. She loves teaching and community educational outreach, and is interested in representation theory and mathematics education.

-- Interested in promoting diversity? It may seem overwhelming on your own, but there are many people who are as eager to make changes as you are. You just have to keep looking. --
