Student Spotlight: Seraphina Lee '19

Recent Cornell grad, Seraphina Lee '19, a math major was asked, "What have you accomplished as a Cornell student that you are most proud of, either inside the classroom or otherwise?"

She responded with, "I’m most proud of the work I’ve done through independent studies and projects in my last two years at Cornell. For instance, I participated in the Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) after my sophomore year on a project on analysis of fractals with two other undergraduates, which resulted in a paper accepted for publication. Following that summer, I’ve worked through a few semesters of reading courses in algebraic number theory and arithmetic geometry, and I am currently working on a senior thesis on elliptic curves. Though they were very challenging, I think these projects have made me a more mature math student, and better prepared for research in graduate school."
