I participated in the UCLA Computational and Applied Mathematics REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates), funded by the NSF, in summer 2023. I collaborate with a team of 4 to conduct research, design 10+ experiments, build PDE solver with numerical analysis, optimize code, and create visualizations. Under the mentorship of Mason Porter and Sarah Tymochko, we simulated opinions dynamics in a mathematical network with an adaptive Deffuant–Weisbuch model in Python.
We presented our poster at The Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM) 2024 and here is our final proejct presentation. We are hoping to submit the paper to SIAM by the end of 2024.
