She now works at Wolfram|Alpha in the Design Analysis group as a Junior Software Engineer. In addition to studying mathematics, Megan is a professional dancer based in Chicago, Illinois. She enjoys dabbling in various areas of analysis and computer science and likes finding unique ways to integrate the two together with her dance background.
Mentor
Peter attended the University of Vermont and received his PhD in mathematics from Boston University in 2010, and he has taught at several top Boston-area universities, as well as community colleges, community centers and a prison. The topic of his dissertation was in the combinatorial logic of infinities, but his scholarly and teaching interests include Mathematica, dynamical systems, theoretical computer science, physics, philosophy and economics. Besides these, he enjoys playing sports, making music, debating, watching and making movies, traveling, and creating and destroying stuff.
Mentor
Zach is a working at Wolfram as a Technical Outreach Intern, and he is studying at the Florida Institute of Technology full time to earn a master's in physics. During his undergraduate career, he had the opportunity to participate in and contribute to the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment in the Large Hadron Collider upgrade installed in 2019. His passion for physics is matched by his passion for science education; science is meant to be taught and passed along. Zach is working to help pass the joy in physics and science on to others.
