2012 Fields-Mitacs Undergraduate Summer Research Program

From July 3 to August 24, 2012, the Fields Institute hosted the third Fields-Mitacs Undergraduate Summer Research Program. On the first day of the program, the twenty students, visiting the Institute from across the globe, were introduced to the supervisors and learned about the potential research projects for the program:

TORIC VARIETIES
Supervisors: Megumi Harada (McMaster) and Jessie Yang (Toronto and McMaster)

BAYESIAN AND STATISTICAL INVERSE PROBLEMS
Supervisors: Nicholas Hoell (Toronto) and Adrian Nachman (Toronto)

UNDERSTANDING THE FINANCIAL CRISIS: A STATISTICAL PERSPECTIVE
Supervisors: Bei Chen (McMaster) and Matheus Grasselli (McMaster)

APPLICATIONS OF LOGIC TO OPERATOR ALGEBRAS
Supervisors: Ilijas Farah (York) and Bradd Hart (McMaster)

Over the summer, the students worked on their projects in groups with their supervisors, gaining insight and experience in the world of mathematics research. They presented the results of their work at a mini-conference on August 22, 2012.
