Additionally, Dr. Hartman runs workshops for undergraduates thinking about applying to mathematical sciences graduate programs.

Dr. Jennifer Hom grew up in Massachusetts watching Square One TV. She is currently a professor at Georgia Tech. Her research centers on low-dimensional topology and Heegaard Floer homology, and she spoke in the topology section of the 2022 ICM. Hom enjoys running and board games.

Dr. Kasso Okoudjou is a Professor of Mathematics at Tufts University. His research interests lie in applied and computational harmonic analysis, and analysis on fractals. He earned his PhD in mathematics from Georgia Tech in 2003. He has held positions at Cornell University, University of Maryland–College Park, Technical University of Berlin, and MIT, among others.

Jakini Kauba is a third year PhD student in Computational Biology (Stochastic Processes) at Clemson University. With a passion for Quantitative Justice, she aims to serve our many underrepresented communities in an effort to make our nation more equitable for all who reside.

Lucy Martinez received her Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from Stockton University in May 2021. She is currently a fourth-year PhD candidate at Rutgers University, where her PhD research is funded by the NSF-GRFP. Her research interests are in experimental mathematics and combinatorics.

Connor Parrow is a third year PhD student in the Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics Department at University of Notre Dame with research interests in numerical analysis of fluid-structure interaction problems.

Dr. Sarah Bryant serves as the Director of Programs at the AMS, having obtained her PhD in Mathematics from Purdue University in 2009. As Director, she guides a team responsible for implementing a wide spectrum of grants, awards, workshops, and outreach endeavors.

Anna Kinzel is the AMS Programs Specialist for the BEGIN Career Initiative, bringing over five years of experience in higher education. She has a passion for supporting students through internships, mentorship, and career development, with a focus on empowering STEM students to explore diverse opportunities both within and beyond academia.

Dr. Alvina J. Atkinson is the Program Manager for the Inclusive Graduate Education Network Mathematics Initiative (IGEN-Math). This initiative seeks to increase the number of Black, Indigenous, Latine, Pacific Islander, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian students earning PhDs in the mathematical sciences. Dr. Atkinson began her professional career as an Assistant Professor at Fort Valley State University. She is currently a full professor at Georgia Gwinnett College. In addition to having served as a department chair and an assistant dean, Dr. Atkinson has served as co-founder and co-director of the GGC Mathematics in Action (MiA) Scholars Program and as director of the GGC STEM Academy, both of which were weeklong summer programs for middle and high school students.

Rob Hladky received a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Washington in 2004. He subsequently had visiting positions at Dartmouth College and the University of Rochester before becoming an Assistant Professor at North Dakota State University. In 2014, he joined the American Mathematical Society as an Associate Editor for the Mathematical Reviews (MathSciNet).
