Nicolette Meshkat organizes AIM SQuaRE
Dr. Nikki Meshkat and five colleagues took part in an AIM SQuaRE during the week of August 19-23, 2024 on SCU's campus.
Funded by the American Institute of Mathematics, the SQuaRE program allows a dedicated group of four to six mathematicians to pursue an ambitious research program. They spend a week at an AIM facility, collaborating on specific research goals. Members of a SQuaRE may have an existing collaboration from an AIM workshop or similar activity, or the SQuaRE may provide an opportunity for a new collaboration to grow. AIM provides the research facilities and the financial support for each member of the group, and the group may return in future years to continue their collaboration. Each group will be supported for up to three meetings over three consecutive years.
Dr. Meshkat and her colleagues invested algebraic and graphical properties of phylogenetic networks. In this picture they are enjoying a Bay Area staple which has become an AIM tradition for their group: Philz Coffee.
