California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI) Associate Professor of Mathematics Selenne Bañuelos recently received $274,750 in continued funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for her continued participation in the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM).
“I would describe IPAM as Math-Nerd Heaven,” Bañuelos laughed. “It’s been really exciting. It’s a great space where you have scientists and math researchers from all over the world working on all sorts of new and exciting projects.”
The grant, which was administered through a subaward from the Regents of the University of California (UC), funds Bañuelos’ continued role as an associate director at IPAM “which is a HUGE deal,” according to Associate Professor of Mathematics Cynthia Flores, a friend and colleague.
