My favorite part about the program is the community within the graduate students here as well as the welcoming and amazing faculty here. Hi my name is Dante Buhl, I’m a SciCAM masters student at UCSC. I chose a degree in Scientific Computing and Applied Mathematics because I enjoy solving difficult problems through a mixture…

The SciCAM program perfectly aligned with my interest in tackling scientific and engineering challenges. Starting as a Game Design major in community college, I discovered a passion for problem-solving and math. This prompted a switch to Computer Science, which led me to choose UCSC’s Applied Math undergraduate program when transferring. The SciCAM program perfectly aligned…

I applied because it made going to graduate school now more realistic rather than going later on in life. What I really appreciate about this program is it is giving me an opportunity to get research experience and put together a strong application for a Ph.D. program. I applied because it made going to graduate…

…I want to use the opportunity to enhance my mathematics background and to contribute to be a well-rounded skill set in the Machine Learning and AI field. I grew up with many hard financial hardships and I was trying to be financially independent. Next Gen SAN has enabled me to pursue a higher degree related…

Since joining, I have been fortunate enough to meet many eager and hardworking students and faculty who have supported my academic goals… Growing up in a predominantly Mexican-American community, it was infrequent to see those I looked up to pursue such a degree as applied mathematics and even more so at the graduate level. As…

…I knew that this would give me an opportunity to pursue a Master’s degree in an area that complements my undergraduate degree so well. I always knew I wanted to get my Master’s degree, but I was unsure about when, where, and in what area I wanted this degree to be in. When I had…

…I have had the opportunity to participate in research and learn first-hand about the application of machine learning methods to real scientific problems. Currently serves as a Data Analyst for OB Media I applied to the NextGen SAM program for a chance to expand my knowledge of the field of applied math and to gain…
