One of the best experiences I had in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics was having the privilege of doing mathematical research with one of my favorite professors. I got to travel and present the research in many different places. During the conference in Edmond, Oklahoma, I received 3rd place. It was one of the most exciting moments in my life, and I will never forget it!
