During summer 2015, Kelly Pohland ’16 and Yukihide Nakada ’16 worked on a research project under the direction of Assistant Professor of Mathematics Craig Dodge and Professor of Mathematics Harald Ellers. Their work provided insightful contributions to classifying the simple modules of the centralizer algebra for the Symmetric groups. During fall 2015 they submitted their work to Involve: A Journal of Mathematics, work that has been accepted for publication pending revisions. In early January 2016, Kelly and Yuki presented their research at the MAA student poster session at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Seattle, Washington, the largest annual mathematics conference in the world.
