Research and recognition: Ethan Coleman

Patrick Mccreery — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:51:24 +0000

Research and recognition: Ethan Coleman Patrick Mccreery Thu, 01/08/2026 - 10:51 Patrick McCreery

Applied Mathematics major Ethan Coleman’s undergraduate research in Assistant Professor Ankur Gupta’s Laboratory of Interfaces, Flow and Electrokinetics (LIFE) addressed a nuanced question: How do microscopic particles move in complex chemical environments? His work led to two first-author papers and earned him three of the College of Engineering and Applied Science’s fall undergraduate awards, including the Outstanding Undergraduate of the College, recognizing not just academic performance, but teaching, research, and leadership.

Explaining a puzzling experiment

In Coleman’s first paper, “Diffusiophoresis in acid-base reaction fronts with and without an isoelectric point: When, why, and where the particles focus”, Coleman tackled an experimental mystery. Microparticles had been observed to focus at acid–base reaction fronts, defying classical predictions. Coleman showed that the key was a pH-dependent surface charge. By incorporating realistic variations in particle zeta potential, he explained when and where particles concentrate, reconciling theory with experiment and opening new avenues for controlling particle transport.

Untangling complex particle motion

Coleman’s second paper, “A pinch of salt in a pinch of salt: Diffusiophoresis in concentration gradients of three ionic species”, addressed a fundamental challenge in diffusiophoresis – the motion of particles driven by chemical gradients. While systems with two ions are well understood, adding a third creates nonlinear interactions that are difficult to predict.

Coleman developed a linearized model for three-ion systems, revealing when simple approximations work and when they fail. His framework provides both the mathematical corrections and the physical intuition needed to understand particle motion in multi-ion environments – insights that could benefit both microfluidic design and biophysical research.

Awards for a holistic undergraduate experience

Coleman’s research accomplishments were complemented by a remarkable academic record. He completed a double major in Chemical and Biological Engineering and Applied Mathematics in just nine semesters, served as a teaching assistant for four classes, and contributed as a student ambassador and participant in the Global Engineering Residential Academic Program.

The College recognized his holistic contributions with the Research Award, the Academic Engagement Award, and the Outstanding Undergraduate of the College, underscoring not just grades or publications, but the breadth of his impact on peers, classrooms, and research labs.

Mapping out the future

Coleman plans to continue working in the LIFE lab for several months post-graduation and is applying to PhD programs in chemical and biological engineering. Further information regarding Ethan Coleman’s awards can be found in the article published by the Chemical and Biological Engineering Department regarding his accomplishments.

2025 Rudy Horne Memorial Fellowship Recipient: Nirab Hossain

Patrick Mccreery — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 16:27:17 +0000

2025 Rudy Horne Memorial Fellowship Recipient: Nirab Hossain Patrick Mccreery Sun, 11/16/2025 - 09:27 Patrick McCreery

The Department of Applied Mathematics is proud to announce that Nirab Hossain has been selected as the recipient of the 2025 Rudy Horne Memorial Fellowship. Established in memory of Dr. Rudy Horne, this fellowship honors students who, “through their presence in the department, contribute to the diversity of the Department of Applied Mathematics and of the campus, and more generally, of the community of mathematicians.”

The Rudy Horne Memorial Fellowship serves as both recognition and inspiration. It celebrates students who embody Dr. Horne’s lifelong dedication to excellence, mentorship, and inclusion – values that continue to shape APPM’s vision for a more equitable mathematical community.

For Nirab, mathematics has always been more than a subject, it’s been a part of life. “My father was a maths teacher who used to teach me maths in the funniest ways possible; it started there,” he recalled. “I loved to solve mathematical problems from my childhood. It’s kind of my natural ability to do maths and computation.” That early spark has since grown into a deep curiosity about how mathematics connects with real-world systems. Today, Nirab’s research interests span mathematical neuroscience, cyber-physical security, and neural networks, fields that blend theory, computation, and tangible social impact.

Receiving the Rudy Horne Fellowship is, for Nirab, both a personal milestone and a professional turning point. “Personally, it affirms the value of the path I have taken from Dhaka to Boulder and the support I have received from mentors, peers, and communities along the way,” he said. “Professionally, it gives me the confidence and resources to fully immerse myself in graduate research and teaching. Additionally, this fellowship reminds me of Dr. Horne’s legacy of enhancing mathematical research opportunity.”

Nirab’s journey to graduate study in the United States has also shaped his perspective on inclusion and access in the mathematical sciences. “I believe inclusivity in applied mathematics requires both structural changes and cultural shifts,” he explained. “We need sustained programs that lower barriers for students from underrepresented backgrounds … through scholarships, mentorship, or bridge programs. Culturally, I would just like to see more international collaboration opportunities so that students from places like Bangladesh can connect with peers in the U.S.”

That vision, of a global and connected mathematical community, is one that deeply resonates with the spirit of the Rudy Horne Fellowship. Nirab’s story reflects both individual perseverance and a broader ideal: talent and curiosity know no borders, and mathematics grows richer when diverse experiences and perspectives come together.

The Department of Applied Mathematics extends its warmest congratulations to Nirab on this well-deserved honor. His passion for discovery, commitment to inclusivity, and international perspective exemplify the very qualities that the Rudy Horne Memorial Fellowship seeks to celebrate. We are excited to see the contributions he will continue to make – both to the department and to the evolving global community of applied mathematics.

Harnessing Applied Mathematics and Bayesian Statistics to Protect Forests from Invasive Moths

Harnessing Applied Mathematics and Bayesian Statistics to Protect Forests from Invasive Moths Patrick Mccreery Tue, 10/07/2025 - 12:24 Patrick McCreery

How APPM researchers, like Professor Vanja Dukic, are aiding in the ecological battle against forest defoliators

Invasive species are among the leading threats to forests across North America. Among them, the spongy moth and Douglas-fir tussock moth are responsible for extensive damage to forests from coast to coast. However, cutting-edge mathematical and statistical modeling is able to aid forest managers fight outbreaks with precision.

Spongy Moths: Predicting Outbreaks, Protecting Forests

Over the past five decades, outbreaks of the invasive spongy moth have led to the defoliation of millions of acres of oak forests across the eastern United States and the Midwest. These events not only destroy forest ecosystems, but also result in significant economic and real estate losses, particularly as nearly 70% of these forests are privately owned.

A highly specific baculovirus offers a solution: harmless to other species, this virus can suppress spongy moth populations effectively. Using mathematical and statistical models developed by researchers at the University of Chicago and �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder, such as APPM Professor Vanja Dukic, targeted biocontrol applications of this virus can now be planned with precision (see Figure 1). By identifying when and where to intervene, these models help forest managers minimize damage and, in some cases, prevent outbreaks altogether.

Figure 1. Map of spongy moth defoliation in the USA and Ontario, Canada, from 1975 - 2019. Purple shading shows areas that have experienced 1 or more defoliation events. Ontario data are only available beginning in 1996.

Douglas-Fir Tussock Moths: Advanced Forecasting for Smart Interventions

In the western US, Douglas-fir tussock moths pose a similar threat. These caterpillars feed on the needles of fir trees and have recently caused severe defoliation events, including major outbreaks in New Mexico. Like the spongy moth, the tussock moth has a species-specific baculovirus that can naturally regulate its population.

In collaboration with the USDA Forest Service and the University of Chicago, APPM researchers developed and applied a sophisticated epidemiological model to recent outbreaks. This model incorporates key variables—moth population size, initial viral presence, and transmission rates—to forecast the dynamics of a baculovirus epizootic. From 2018 to 2020, the model guided intervention strategies in several national forests, including the Boise, Okanogan-Wenatchee, and Lolo forests. The outcomes validated the model’s predictive power and its utility in biocontrol planning.

A Cross-Institutional Effort

This work exemplifies the impact of applied mathematics in addressing real-world ecological challenges. The joint effort between �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder, the University of Chicago, and the U.S. Forest Service demonstrates how mathematical and statistical insight can drive practical, data-informed decision-making in forest management.

As these models continue to evolve, they offer a blueprint for how mathematical sciences can help preserve our forests—ensuring that forests and biodiversity are protected for generations to come.
