A Brief Bio
Silvia
Jimenez is a doctoral
candidate in the Department of Mathematics at
Her current research centers on her dissertation, which is about Homogenization of Nonlinear Elliptic Partial Differential Equations, with Professor Robert Lipton as her PhD adviser. She is interested in researching the effect of microstructure on the solution of Partial Differential Equations.
"Mathematics is not a deductive science, that's a cliche. When you try to prove a theorem, you don't just list the hypotheses, and then start to reason. What you do is trial and error, experimentation, guesswork."
