It has been another busy year for our undergraduate mathematics programs, with many exciting changes on the horizon. This year, our Undergraduate Program Committee is leading teams of faculty members in a review of all four of our majors – Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Analytics and Operations Research, and Scientific Computation – with a view towards modernizing and improving what our current programs offer. The intent is to both add breadth to our current course offering, and to add support to mathematics students in the form of discussions across all of our classes.

Jared Krandel is a new KAP who will be starting at UC Davis in January 2025. He graduated from Stony Brook University in Spring 2024 and is spending this Fall as a postdoc at SLMath in Berkeley. Most of his work so far has been in an area of geometric measure theory called quantitative rectifiability. He studies geometric properties of rectifiable curves and surfaces through things like analyst's traveling salesman problems, characterizations of uniform rectifiability, parameterizability problems, and more. 

Yoon Jae "Nick" Nho is a Krener Assistant Professor, mentored by Professor Roger Casals. His research is in symplectic geometry and topology, and he is interested in geometric structures that are related to physics. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in August 2024, under the supervision of Professor Ailsa Keating. 

He is from South Korea, and his hobbies include reading books, watching films, and listening to music.
