Quantum knot invariants
Comments:
The Combinatorics and Optimization (C and O) Undergraduate Research Assistant (URA) program is a rewarding experience and a great opportunity to learn some interesting and challenging math. If you're at all interested in mathematical research, this is one of the best ways you could spend your summer!

Performance Metrics and Data Mining for Assessing Schedule Qualities in Paratransit & Real-time Transit Holding Control: A New Optimization Model
Comments:
For
the
Performance
Metrics
project,
we
used
multiple
regression
tools
to
find
a
relationship
between
a
schedule
and
it's
rating.
I
built
a
program
that
is
now
being
used
by
Disabled
and
Aged
Regional
Transit
System
(DARTS)
in
Hamilton.
We
have
submitted
a
paper
on
this
topic.
For
the
Holding
problem,
I
modeled
a
bus
system
using
a
Quadratic
Program.
The
next
step
is
to
build
an
event
driven
simulation
to
see
if
our
holding
decisions
are
more
efficient
that
currently
used
heuristics.
Eventually
we
will
submit
a
paper
on
this
topic
as
well.

Working as a URA for C and O is a great experience. It's like getting paid to learn what research is all about.
