THE COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES REMAINS THE UNIVERSITY’S FACULTY RESEARCH POWERHOUSE We are proud to note an average 5.5 percent increase in new awards annually since Fiscal Year 2018. Here are just a few of the amazing things our faculty have accomplished this year. Mihhail Berezovski, Ph.D. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT
Associate Professor Dr. Mihhail Berezovski’s NSF-funded “Research Projects in Data-Enabled Industrial Mathematics” provides undergraduate students with opportunities to participate in authentic data-enabled industrial mathematics projects. Students work collaboratively on problems provided by business, government and industry. This summer will be the program’s third year with 20 students from 12 universities participating so far. Their efforts have produced two publications, one accepted publication and two submitted publications. Students have presented their results at 11 national conferences and one international conference. This summer, 11 students from 11 other universities will join four Embry‑Riddle students to work on data projects.
I know the research experience I had really helped
to set me apart from the other candidates to get my current position at AUSGAR, so thank you for giving me the opportunity and experience. Dr. Mihhail Berezovski | Mathematics Department
