Profile and Objective
Reliable, detail-oriented, and efficient worker skilled with creative, analytical problem-solving skills.
Interested in mathematical applications and analyses of scientific data related to earth systems and
biology. Seeking exposure to mathematical and statistical modelling at the intersection of health,
societies, and environment prior to pursuing graduate school.
Relevant Skills
• A range of computational experience in Python, R, and Java
• Comprehensive quantitative experience in statistics, analysis, algebra, and partial differential
equations
• Statistical modelling: regression problems (transformations and interactions), classification tasks (K-
nearest neighbors, logistic regression, discriminant analysis), bootstrap and cross-validation,
regularization and model selection techniques, diagnostics and model building for high-dimensional
data, non-linear models, tree methods, and an introduction to unsupervised learning.
• Mathematical statistics: Central Limit Theorem, estimation (statistical inference, prior and posterior
distributions, Bayes estimators, MLEs), sampling distributions of estimators (Chi-Square
distributions, joint distributions of sample mean and variance, t-distributions, confidence intervals,
unbiased estimators, Fisher information), Hypothesis testing, Markov chain Monte Carlo.
• Highly receptive to constructive feedback
• Strong liberal arts framework and broad undergraduate natural science coursework
• Professional collaboration and communication abilities.

Selected Undergraduate Papers
Undergraduate Thesis: An Exploration in Diffusion and the Mean First Passage Time
An investigation of particle diffusion and the mean first passage time in bounded domains inspired
by cellular diffusion. A consideration of the effects of domain geometry and various boundary
conditions on the time-evolution of diffusive particles and their "escape" from such domains with a
random walk implementation for the mean first passage time.

Image Classification and Semantic Segmentation using Convolutional Neural Networks and U-
Net, Henry Jones and Andrew Pinkham
A theoretical introduction to convolutional neural networks and an implementation of a pretrained,
semantic segmentation U-Net model on a satellite image dataset from Kaggle.
The Finite Difference Method
Theory of the finite difference method (FDM) for linear and non-linear ODE and an introduction to
the FDM for the classical wave equation with Python implementation on GitHub
Report on the December 22, 2021 - Jan 1, 2022, California Atmospheric River Event
Henry Jones and May Lamb
An introduction to atmospheric rivers and analysis of the 2021-2022 event using surface analysis
data, total precipitable water content satellite images, and NOAA HYSPLIT trajectories.
Confidence Scores of Neural Networks, Henry Jones and Daniel Lewinsohn
An introduction to neural network confidence scores, generalization accuracy, and metrics of
calibration with an implementation comparing the Expected Calibration Error (ECE) of three popular
models.
An Introduction to Harmonic Theory
This paper establishes several foundational results for harmonic functions which rely upon the
extension of earlier results for analytic functions. Such results include the Local and Global
Maximum Principal for Harmonic functions, Uniqueness of the Dirichlet Problem for harmonic
functions, and the Poisson Integral formula on the disk in the complex plane.

• Literature review of stochastic processes with chemical and biological inspiration
• Implementation of stochastic simulations and a random walk model adapted for the Mean First
Passage Time.
