James Marengo, professor, School of Mathematics and Statistics; Anne Marino Himes ’07 MS (applied and computational mathematics); Cade Reinberger ’23 (computational mathematics), mathematical modeling Ph.D. student; and David Farnsworth, professor emeritus, School of Mathematics and Statistics, had two articles published in the Open Journal of Statistics: “Probability Distributions Arising in Connection with the Inspection Paradox for the Poisson Process” (February 2023) and “Probability Distributions Arising in Connection with the Inspection Paradox for Bernoulli Trials” (December 2023). The inspection paradox occurs when an interval between events is selected during a repetitive process over time, such as scheduled versus actual bus stop times.

Narshini Gunputh, Jordana O’Brien, and Riley Supple, mathematical modeling Ph.D. students, presented at the first annual meeting of the New York-New Jersey-Pennsylvania Section of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM-NNP), held Oct. 20-22 at New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, N.J. Gunputh presented a poster on “Mathematical Modeling of Contact Lens Drug Delivery”; O’Brien gave an oral presentation on “A Mathematical Model of Particle Deposition in the Human Lung”; and Supple presented a poster on “Mathematical Modeling of Ocular Tissue Deformation due to Intraocular Pressure.” Kara Maki, associate professor, School of Mathematics and Statistics, advised the students on their work along with co-advisors Lucia Carichino, assistant professor, School of Mathematics and Statistics, and Jennifer O’Neil, assistant professor, Department of Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology.

The Center for Engaged Storycraft will hold a workshop on “Engaging Art to Tell a Story” for high school women on Dec. 9 in collaboration with the Memorial Art Gallery. The workshop will be led by Laura Shackelford, professor, Department of English; Karen “Ren” VanMeenen, principal lecturer, Department of English; Emily Offermann, illustration student; and MacKenzie Vanacore ’22 (English), with support from local storyteller and multimedia producer Rashida Burch-Washington and Adam Koneman, a MAG museum educator.
