Mathematics

Emily Zhu
Growing up in New Jersey, Emily picked up the infectious enthusiasm of her high school math team and has studied math ever since. Towards that purpose, she attended Carnegie Mellon University, earning a joint Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Mathematical Sciences. There, she also worked as a tutor and teaching assistant for various math courses and coached a local grade school math team. Her research is in Combinatorics, particularly Ramsey Theory, which is essentially the study of order in large structure. For instance, classical Graph Ramsey Theory asks how large a complete graph must be to guarantee the existence of a subgraph H in some color when k-coloring the edges. As a math PhD student, Emily is excited to continue studying math and helping others learn math.
