Martha Hoopes part of team for Biomathematics Consortium

Under the direction of Smith College, the new Four College Biomathematics Consortium kicks off this fall, thanks to a five-year, $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation.

The consortium will support joint investigations by faculty and students at Smith, Mouth Holyoke, Amherst and Hampshire colleges.

Streinu, Dorit and Christophe Golé, professor of mathematics at Smith, along with seven additional faculty members from each of the four colleges secured the grant for the consortium. The additional investigators include Amy Wagaman, Tanya Leise and Sheila Jaswal at Amherst; Craig T. Woodward and Martha Hoopes at Mount Holyoke; Lee Spector and Sarah Hews at Hampshire.
