ModApp Journal Club
The ModApp Journal Club is a gathering designed for undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and researchers to engage with the latest research in mathematical modeling and applications. We meet every two weeks throughout the semester, usually in person.
Our meetings feature a flexible, welcoming format: some sessions are traditional seminars led by faculty or guest speakers, while others serve as a collaborative space for students to present a recent paper, share their own research, or practice for upcoming conferences. Whether you are presenting your work or just listening in, everyone is welcome to join the discussion!
