Recent Ph.D. Dissertations

Hannah Schwartz, 2019
Exotic Phenomena in Dimension Four | Advisor: Paul Melvin | Personal Webpage

Why Bryn Mawr? I chose Bryn Mawr because it feels like a family. Both the teachers and students in our department are extremely supportive, and there is always someone around to bounce ideas off of. This constant mathematical conversation is my favorite aspect of our department.

Danielle Smiley, 2019
Estimates on Oscillatory Singular Integral Operators | Advisor: Leslie Cheng

Why Bryn Mawr? Bryn Mawr offers a unique graduate experience due to the fact that they are a small program. The individualized attention was exactly what I was looking for during my studies. The closeness of the faculty and students helps to enhance a great working and learning environment. On another note, Bryn Mawr and the surrounding area offer great opportunities for attending lectures, seminars, conferences and various events. There are a great many outside resources that supplement the smallness of the program.

Samantha Pezzimenti, 2018
Immersed Lagrangian Fillings of Legendrian Submanifolds via Generating Families | Advisor: Lisa Traynor | Personal Webpage | CV

Why Bryn Mawr? Bryn Mawr offers everything I was looking for in a graduate school. Bryn Mawr has an extremely supportive and close-knit environment with an emphasis on both research and teaching. The professors are always willing to help and truly care about your success.

Ziva Myer, 2017
A Product Structure on Generating Family Cohomology for Legendrian Submanifolds​ | Advisor: Lisa Traynor | CV

Why Bryn Mawr? I chose Bryn Mawr because the professors here strike a great balance between excellence in their research and their teaching. I also enjoy studying math at a small liberal arts college. 

Frank Romascavage

Frank Romascavage, 2017
Explicit Formula for the Mean Square of Dirichlet L-Functions to Prime Power Moduli​ | Advisor: Djordje Milicevic | CV

Why Bryn Mawr?  I chose Bryn Mawr due to the fact that everyone in the department has created a very healthy environment which focuses equally on excellence in teaching as well as research.  One has to come here to experience it firsthand!

Kathryn Bryant, 2016 
Slice Implies Mutant Ribbon for Odd 5-Stranded Pretzel Knots | Advisor: Paul Melvin | CV

Why Bryn Mawr? I chose Bryn Mawr because of the high level of research coupled with the small, supportive environment. The professors are challenging yet encouraging, the undergraduates are motivated to learn, and there are numerous scholarly opportunities outside of the college in which graduate students can participate; it is the ideal academic environment.

Eva Goedhart, 2015
The Nonexistence of Solutions to Certain Families of Diophantine Equations | Advisor: Helen Grundman | CV

Why Bryn Mawr? I chose Bryn Mawr College because the department feels like a family. It's a small department where everyone matters and everyone wants to see you succeed. The faculty, students, and staff all work really hard to make sure everyone has the tools and resources needed to complete their dissertation. I'm proud to be part of that family.
