Highlights

Aliou Diop, a Bronx Commmunity College alumnus of the 2001 class, began his undergraduate research with the AMP program in Spring 2000 under the mentorship of Dr. Andrew McInerney of the Dept. of Mathematics and Computer Science. A year later, he was among the first eight CUNY students and the first BCC student to be awarded the AMP Carver Scholarship. In this capacity, he presented his work in Science Fairs at both BCC and CUNY and in several undergraduate research conferences around the country. In Fall 2002, while a junior at Lehman College, he was among a handful of talented undergraduates recruited from throughout the US to participate in the MASS (Mathematics Advanced Study Semesters) Program at Penn State University. He completed his B.S. in Mathematics at Lehman College in the Spring of 2003 and is currently pursuing his Ph.D degree in Mathematics at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York!!!


The AMP and the Dept. of Mathematics and Computer Science at BCC is proud of accomplishments of students like Aliou Diop and is looking forward to scout for a new generation of talented students in sciences and mathematics.
