Yu Xuang Huang, a senior applied math and computer science double major, got an internship at NASA for the Summer of 2018.

Hear it from him!

I got an internship offer from NASA summer 2018. The project name is Above-Anvil Cirrus Plumes Machine Learning Project and it means a lot to me because our work will save lives and properties due to the hazardous weather.
Above Anvil Cirrus Plumes(AACPs) are plumes of cirrus clouds that shoot above the anvil tops of convective thunderstorms into the lower stratosphere which is a weather phenomenon that often precede severe weather such as tornados, thunderstorms, hail, and high winds.

This work has built off of previous research of AACPs by the NASA Langley Science Directorate using radar and satellite imagery. The purpose of this project was to identify AACPs associate with storms using machine learning techniques such as deep learning and image processing to perform analysis of imagery of storm clouds in order to automatically identify AACPs in satellite imagery. Which predicts AACP associate with storms and issues notification for precaution because loss of life and property due to severe weather is an unknown quantity. This project will be an excellence tool to assist aircraft flying in the vicinity of dangerous weather. This internship enhances both my soft skills and technical skills

I really appreciate Professor Jack Hanson, Professor Akira Kawaguchi and Professor Rosario Gennaro for the recommendation letter.

Prof. Amarasingham and Prof. Hooper took some of the Dr. Barnett and Jean Hollander Rich Research Summer Interns out to lunch at LoLo's Seafood Shack in Harlem!

We are proud to announce that our Master of Science (M.S.) program in mathematics is now part of Math Alliance's Master Program Group (MPG).

The Dr. Barnett and Jean Hollander Rich Summer Internship has officially started this summer! We started off our summer internship with some food and wonderful conversation!

The Department of Mathematics is proud to announce that we will be hosting Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM) this summer at CCNY! The Department of Mathematics at CCNY has been working with Daniel Zaharopol to collaborate this summer. They’re an organization whose goal is to create pathways for underserved students to go into STEM fields, so they start working with students throughout high school giving them rigorous summer classes and providing support throughout the year as they transition to applying to colleges to further educate themselves, while all this is done for free for the students.
