Research Experience: I have done an undergraduate research project with a computing science professor on combinatorial optimization. No published research, but we came up with some results that he is still working on. In my master's degree, I have published one research paper, and another expository paper in a student journal. I plan to submit a second research paper shortly. I have also presented at about 3-4 conferences in the past year, and won an award for a poster at one of these conferences.
Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Research Award for funding.
Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Math & Physics Tutor.
Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: One recommendation is from a computing science professor (theoretical computing science though, two recommendations from my co-supervisors.
