Mathematics Graduate Students Features on Lathisms

Published Date: 2023-09-29

Mathematics graduate students, Santiago Arango (left) and Jasmine Camero (right), have recently been featured as the Daily Mathematicians on Lathisms, an organization founded in 2016 in order to showcase the contributions of Latinx and Hispanic mathematicians during Hispanic Heritage Month.

Santiago Arango-Piñeros is a Colombian Ph.D. candidate in Arithmetic Geometry at Emory University, where he is advised by David Zureick-Brown. Raised in Bogotá, Colombia, he fulfilled the compulsory military service before receiving his BS in Mathematics and a second BS in Environmental Engineering from Los Andes University in 2016. After becoming obsessed with moduli spaces of elliptic curves, the topic of his undergraduate dissertation, Santiago decided to abandon engineering to continue his education in Mathematics. Before the start of his PhD program, he moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he obtained an MSC in Mathematics at Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA).

Jasmine Camero is a Mexican-American first-generation Ph.D. student from Santa Ana, California. She is currently a student in the Emory University Department of Mathematics studying classical algebraic geometry, advised by Brooke Ullery. Before pursuing a Ph.D., she attended California State University, Fullerton (CSUF), where she received her B.A. in Mathematics in 2020.

We're thrilled to see our students celebrated like this. Congratulations Santiago and Jasmine!
