Carlos Martinez Selected for Schmidt Science Fellowship
Carlos Martinez is a doctoral candidate in applied mathematics from Guayaquil, Ecuador. He earned his B.S. in civil engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Campaign and now studies discrete mathematics under the guidance of Samitha Samaranayake at Cornell. What is your area of research and why is it important? I am broadly interested in discrete mathematics, from its real-world applications to foundations in optimization and combinatorics. For instance, I develop mathematical models and algorithms for problems arising in transportation (e.g., designing a “good” set of bus routes... Read more
