Mentoring


Co-mentored UConn undergraduate student Jennifer Kim (2021) to investigate chaos in biologically relevant models using COPASI and R. Virtual due to COVID19.

Co-mentored Adelphi University's undergraduate student Mikayla Moerler (2021) for her thesis titled "A Statistical Study On The Performance Of Olympic And Collegiate Athletes Throughout History".

Co-mentored high school student (2021) to analyze longitudinal data about high school students with intersectional identities. The intersectionality was with respect to race, gender, and disability. Virtual due to COVID19.

Co-mentored high school student (2021) to create an agent-based model in Netlogo about college choice for students with disabilities. The model is a conceptual one based on the theory presented in “The Access and Equity for Students with Disabilities (SWD) in STEM Higher Education. Koshy-Chenthittayil, S. & Farfan Dsouza, N. (2019). PacRim 2019 Conference Proceedings. Published by Center on Disability Studies, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. https://scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu/handle/10125/69320”. Virtual due to COVID19

Co-mentored high school student D. Senthilkumar (2020) to review two agent-based modelling software for a review paper published in Microorganisms (Koshy-Chenthittayil, S.; Archambault, L.; Senthilkumar, D.; Laubenbacher, R.; Mendes, P.; Dongari-Bagtzoglou, A. (2021) Agent Based Models of Polymicrobial Biofilms and the Microbiome—A Review. Microorganisms, 9, 417. https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms9020417). The models were written in NetLogo and R. Virtual due to COVID19.

Co-mentored high school student L. Choi (2020) to analyze longitudinal data about high school students with disabilities. The analysis was from a Dis/crit theory perspective. Virtual due to COVID19.

Mentored high school student M. Sun (2019) on using iDynoMICS (agent-based model for biofilms) software to validate experimental results from literature. Summer research experience of the student was published as a paper in Harvard Educational Review (Sun, M.; Koshy-Chenthittayil, S.; & D’Souza, N. F. (2020). Quantitative Medicine and Reflection on Summer Research in Mathematical Biology. Harvard Educational Review, 90(2), 322-330).
