Our program is run by generous volunteers from the University of Maryland and beyond. Contact us if you would be interested in future event organization, speaking, or volunteering.
Victoria Whitley [UMD]
Victoria Whitley is an AMSC doctoral candidate at the University of Maryland (UMD). Her research focuses on computational fluid dynamics... with applications in oceanography. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics, with a minor in Women Studies at the University of North Carolina (UNC) in 2019. As an undergraduate at UNC, she helped start the founding Girls Talk Math Program under Drs. Francesca Bernardi and Katrina Morgan, volunteering with their program from 2016 - 2018. After joining UMD as a graduate student in 2019, she became director for UMD’s Girls Talk Math program. Looking forward, Victoria hopes to grow this chapter of GTM and continue to mentor other women in math, as so many have mentored her thus far.Angela Robinson [NIST]
Angela Robinson is a Mathematician at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Her research interests include...error-correcting code-based cryptosystems and privacy enhancing cryptography. She completed her B.S. in Mathematics at Baylor University and both her M.S. and PhD in Mathematics at Florida Atlantic University. Dr. Robinson has a passion for creating opportunities for others to engage in mathematics, particularly among communities underrepresented in STEM. She served as founding president of the AWM student chapter at Florida Atlantic University, served as a Women and Mathematics Postdoctoral Ambassador for the Institute for Advanced Study, organized the inaugural FWIMD: Florida Women in Mathematics Day, and has been involved with the UMD Girls Talk Math summer camp since 2019.Maeve Wildes [UMD]
Maeve is a fourth year Ph.D. candidate in University of Maryland's AMSC program. Her research focuses on partial differential equations and... their applications to biology. She received her B.Sc. in mathematics from McGill University in 2021 and M.S. in applied mathematics from UMD in 2024. Maeve also serves as the co-president of UMD's Women in Math chapter. She is committed to promoting diversity and increasing minority representation in mathematics.Marvyn Bailly [UMD]
Marvyn is a second-year PhD candidate in the AMSC program. He graduated from the University of Washington in 2023 with his M.S. in... Applied Mathematics and from Oregon State University in 2022 with his B.S. in Mathematics. As a researcher, he is interested in numerical methods for PDEs, fluid dynamics, and oceanography. Marvyn is committed to creating a welcoming and supportive environment in mathematics for everybody.Revati Jadhav [UMD]
Revati is a fourth year PhD candidate at University of Maryland's mathematics department. She graduated with her B.Sc. in Mathematics from ...Fergusson College, Pune, India in 2018 and M.Sc. in Mathematics from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Centre for Applicable Mathematics in Bangalore, India in 2020. Her research interests include harmonic analysis, operator algebras and signal processing. She hopes to help high school students discover a love of mathematics and find confidence in their abilities to succeed in it.Faculty Advisors
