The University at Buffalo Department of Mathematics is pleased to announce that Dr. Naoki Masuda, Associate Professor, is the winner of the JSPS (Japan Society for Promotion of Science) Prize 2020. The national award recognizes his work, “Pioneering Research on Theory and Data-Analysis Methods for Temporal Networks”. Masuda attended the JSPS Awards Ceremony in February, 2020, accompanied by his daughter, Ami Masuda. The JSPS 2020 Award included full funding of their travel to Japan. While there, Dr.

Opening Prayers by Title/Topic Here’s a list of some of the opening prayers or prayers of invocation on this blog. To see a list of opening prayers based on specific scripture texts, see these other Prayer Indexes. Prayer Index: Old Testament Prayer Index: New Testament. Opening Prayers. A Chorus of Praise.
Masuda and Ami participated in an exclusive audience with the Japanese Royal Family. According to Popular Mechanics, there’s nothing quite like a maddening math problem, mind-bending optical illusion, or twisty logic puzzle to halt all productivity in the magazine's office. We’re curious people by nature, but we also collectively share a stubborn insistence that we’re right, and so we tend to throw work by the wayside whenever we come upon a problem with several seemingly possible solutions.
Mathematicians such as Dr. Johanna Mangahas reveal the real answer. How many triangles can you find in this.
New research from the University of Buffalo, using computational models of individual people’s connectomes, shed light into individual differences in brain activation patterns, as well as how those patterns may change over time. Since 2009, scientists around the globe have worked to create the Human Connectome, a structural blueprint of the various neural pathways and connections that underlie thought, reason, emotion, and behavior in the brain. Thanks to those pioneering efforts, we now understand that different regions of the brain work together in concert, forming specific networks that facilitate movement, or learning, or our interactions with others—the cognitive skills that allow us to survive and thrive in our daily lives.
Yet despite these advances, it’s still not entirely clear how these networks may differ from person to person. Sarah Muldoon, a mathematician at the University of Buffalo, has long been interested in understanding individual differences in the brain. Mousa Sunnoqrot is a senior at the State University of New York at Buffalo in Amherst, New York, where he is majoring in Mathematics and minoring in Economics and Statistics, with a concentration on Actuarial Science. Mousa is the professional chair for University at Buffalo’s student-run Society of Future Actuaries, and he interned this past summer at Healthfirst in New York City. Mousa is featured in a Q&A by, a provider of comprehensive research and advanced tools to better understand insurance for business professionals. The University at Buffalo Department of Mathematics is pleased to announce that Destiny Diaz has won the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Award.
The prestigious award is one of the most competitive and respected scientific fellowships in the U.S. Diaz is completing a BS in mathematics with a minor in Spanish.
Recently, Diaz received 2019 SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence. A Buffalo native, she is a member of the University Honors College and a Prosperity Fellow. In Fall 2019, the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship will support her pursuit of graduate study in biostatistics at UB. The award provides three years of financial support within a five-year fellowship period, which amounts to a $34,000 annual stipend and $12,000 cost-of-education allowance to the graduate institution.
Congratulations to Destiny Diaz, winner of the 2019 SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence. Diaz will graduate with a bachelor of science in mathematics and a minor in Spanish. Her accomplishments as an undergraduate student include: University Honors College Scholar; Ambassador for the College of Arts and Sciences; Western New York Prosperity Fellow; Volunteer, Dominican Republic Alternative Spring Break; and more. Diaz has completed research on how to increase STEM enrollment, and works at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center as a research apprentice.

On Thursday, April 25, 2019 UB's 15th Annual Celebration of Student Academic Excellence recognized five UB Mathematics students: Destiny Diaz, Michael Montoro, Julia V. Quebral, Anthony R. Taboni, and David Tallents. Our students are receiving various awards for outstanding work.
The event began with the Poster Celebration, followed by the. The wide-ranging UB community gathers at this annual event to recognize and celebrate the outstanding academic contributions of our students, faculty and research mentors.
