Roger Williams University, Bristol RI

• What ever happened to the Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 that disappeared in 2014? Is neurostimulation an effective treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)? These are questions that you may not associate with math, but the work of Roger Williams University senior applied math majors Abigail Smalls and Cole Foster is a far cry from writing equations on a chalkboard. Foster and Smalls presented their innovative research to a group of prestigious mathematicians at the largest mathematics meeting in the world, the Joint Mathematics Meeting, held in Denver, Colorado this January. Their groundbreaking work and stellar presentations won them each the Most Outstanding Poster award in their respective areas of expertise. Foster's research uses the computer to look at the interaction between light waves and the surface of an underwater object, such as the Malaysian Arline Flight 360. This is Foster's second consecutive win; the Tolland resident also took top honors in the same category - Numerical Analysis - at last year's meeting in Baltimore, and says these experiences help prepare him for a future in his field.
