Hiroki Imura ’25 presents poster at applied mathematics conference

Physics major Hiroki Imura ’25 travelled to the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Conference on Mathematics of Data Science to present his work on virtual X-ray diffraction in deformed crystals.

On Oct. 21, he presented his poster, titled “Virtual X-Ray Diffraction of Dislocated Crystals: A Continuum Forward Model,” on work completed during the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience here at Carthage under the direction of Professor Joseph Anderson.

The SIAM holds numerous conferences each year, and organizers for the Conference on Mathematics of Data Science invited contributions from Prof. Anderson on problems in materials science, which could potentially be fruitful avenues for investigation with specialized methods in statistical machine learning.

“I’m proud of Hiroki for the work he put into this project over the summer. At the end of the day, he created a powerful tool that generates important datasets in materials science. It will see a lot of use over the next few years as we begin to think about what science questions that data can answer,” says Prof. Anderson.
