Congratulations to Keyla! The following excerpt is taken from The Lathisms.org’s website: Keyla Pagán Rivera was born and raised in Puerto Rico. Like many first-generation students, her path into the mathematical sciences was not linear. She earned her bachelor’s degree in secondary math education from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Puerto Rico, graduating as valedictorian of the College of Education. Encouraged by her mentors and curiosity, she pursued a master’s in applied mathematics at the University of Puerto Rico, where she discovered biostatistics, a field that bridged her interest in math with real-world impact. Keyla went on to earn a…
The Mathematics Department welcomes its newest faculty member, Dr. Gabriel Montoya Vega! Gabriel Montoya Vega, originally from Barranquilla, Colombia, earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the Universidad del Atlántico, a master’s from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez, and a Ph.D. from The George Washington University under Professor Józef H. Przytycki. His research focuses on knot theory, including link invariants, skein modules, and Gram determinants, and he has presented his work at renowned institutes such as the Institut Henri Poincaré (France), Oberwolfach (Germany), RIMS (Japan), and the Alfréd Rényi Institute (Hungary). After completing his NSF-Ascend Postdoctoral Fellowship at…
