Colin is co-organizer of the Math Grad Seminar and an active participant in TORA, the Texas-Oklahoma Representations and Automorphic Forms conference series. He is also a popular teacher with outstanding student evaluations.
Academic Excellence Award in Mathematics: Hamid Naderiyan
Hamid has a 4.0 GPA and became ABD after three years. He is interested in many areas of mathematics and is making excellent work on his PhD thesis problem on Orbit Counting in Random Dynamical Systems. He expects to graduate in Spring 2021.
Outstanding Teaching Fellow in Mathematics: Houston Schuerger
Houston will graduate this year and is now applying for jobs. Along with Logan Crone and Dr. Lior Fishman, he has mentored undergraduates pursuing research in graph theory, measure theory, and game theory. Houston is a popular teacher with excellent student evaluations.
We invite all members of the UNT community to follow along as we celebrate the academic accomplishments of our students on Twitter via @UNTscience or #COSHonors2020!
Many have asked how they can help us support our community during these challenging times, so the university created a fund to help students who have immediate and pressing needs related to COVID-19. You can make a gift to the fund at http://one.unt.edu/untcares.
