Print this page Donations may now be made online to a fund in memory of Michael Zhao, a doctoral student in the Department who passed away on December 8, 2018. Michael Zhao was an outstanding undergraduate at the University of Utah, graduating in 2017. He completed Part III at the University of Cambridge and began here as a doctoral student in September 2018, only a few months before his tragic death. He had planned to specialize in number theory. Everyone here was devastated by the loss of such a promising young scholar. Donations to the memorial fund may be made here: http://www.math.columbia.edu/giving/michael-zhao-memorial/ Funds may be used for a physical memorial to Michael in the Department, for expenditures to benefit doctoral students in the Department, or both. Please give generously. Print this pageThe Department mourns the sudden and unexpected loss of its first-year doctoral student, Michael Zhao. Michael was an outstanding undergraduate at the University of Utah. He came here after spending a year as a Part III student in Cambridge. Michael had made a promising start on his doctoral studies here and was planning to specialize in number theory or algebraic geometry. He is survived by his parents, Shaoqing Song and Fuli Zhao, and by a brother, Alan Zhao. The Department will announce a memorial gathering for him in the near future. Funeral Arrangements have been made, as follows: Time: Friday, 12/21/2018 6:00 – 8:00 PM – Viewing Location: Larkin Sunset Gardens
Print this pageEach summer the department hosts an intensive 10 week research program for Columbia undergraduates. This summer 17 undergrad students participated, working under the direction of faculty and grad student advisors. The students will give presentations of their work on Wednesday, August 1 from 1:30pm – 3:00pm in 417 Math. Each group will give a short talk (about 20 minutes). All are invited to attend. The projects are: “Knot Floer homology, bordered algebras and double points” (faculty advisors: Akram Alishahi and Linh Truong)
“Enumerative geometry and arithmetic” (faculty advisors Jo Nelson and Ila Varma)
“Curves on surfaces over finite fields” (faculty advisors: Daniel Litt and Alex Perry)
