RIT’s student completes project with Croatian international company Saponia Osijek

Recent RIT graduate Reagan Brenneman, third from right, traveled from Rochester to Croatia to present to Saponia after working on a project for the company. She was co-advised by Nathan Cahill, second from left, and Kristina Soric, second from right

Worlds collided in more ways than one for Reagan Brenneman ’24 (applied mathematics) when she had the opportunity to combine her major and minors for an exceptional experience working one-on-one for a company in Croatia.

Brenneman spent the summer of 2022 earning her business administration minor at RIT Croatia (in addition to her computer science and English minors at RIT in Rochester), learning from Kristina Soric, area head for Humanities, and Natural and Social Sciences.

Later on, Soric was in Rochester for Imagine RIT and connected with Nathan Cahill, professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics and director of the Mathematical Modeling Ph.D. Program. Soric does a lot of operations research applied to business and was interested in setting up some collaborations with people from the math department.
