Red Sock Awards Awarded to Best Snowbird Posters

Five students were presented with the Red Sock Award for the best poster presentations at Snowbird Conference on Dynamical Systems in May. Along with a pair of red socks, each awardee received a $100 prize. We highlight the winners and give you the opportunity to look at their award-winning work.

Student Feature - Sulimon Sattari

Sulimon Sattari is a postdoctoral fellow working for Tamiki Komatsuzaki at the Research Institute for Electronic Science at Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan. He received his PhD in Physics under Kevin Mitchell at UC Merced in May 2017. He received his BS in Physics and BA in Mathematics from UC Santa Cruz in 2011. Sulimon’s postdoctoral work applies techniques from nonlinear dynamics, information theory, and thermodynamics to study the growth structure of biological cell colonies using experimental images. In his PhD, Sulimon applied a technique called symbolic dynamics to compute mixing rates in fluid systems and ionization rates in atomic systems using topological techniques involving invariant manifolds. As an undergraduate, Sulimon worked under Hartmut Sadrozinski at the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics where he performed experimental research for the development of particle detector prototypes for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

Student Feature - Joshua Garland

Joshua Garland is an Omidyar Postdoctoral Fellow at the Santa Fe Institute. He received his Ph. D. from the University of Colorado (supervised by Elizabeth Bradley), an M.S. in Applied Mathematics also from the University of Colorado, and a dual B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science from Colorado Mesa University.
