My name is Shay Gilpin, and I am a PhD student in the Applied Mathematics (APPM) Department at CU (Fall 2018-current). I completed by undergraduate degree in pure mathematics with a minor in chemistry at the University of California Santa Cruz. As an undergraduate, I participated in the Significant Opportunities for Atmospheric Research Program (SOARS) through the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) in Boulder, CO working for the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate (COSMIC) program. After completing my undergraduate degree, I returned to COSMIC as a visiting scientist, working on scientific applications of Radio Occultation (RO), before starting graduate school. My current research involves the mathematics of data assimilation, particularly continuum and discrete error propogation.
