The DSAC was formed in Spring 2019 to consolidate input and feedback from students to help the DUS make continuous improvements to the major, and to develop resources for students in the major, including most of this website. Per the name, the DSAC is advisory: it does not approve or reject course schedules, make unilateral changes to the major requirements, etc.
As a student in the Applied Math major, the DSAC should be your first point of contact for feedback about how to improve the major or the resources within it. That’s what it’s here for!
The current members of the DSAC are listed below. Feel free to reach out to any or all of them with questions:
Sara de Ángel:
Hi, mathematicians! My name is Sara (she/her/ella) and I am so excited to serve as the chair of the Applied Math DSAC for 2026–2027. I’m from Caguas, Puerto Rico, and I’m a senior doing the B.S. with a concentration in Algorithms and Numerical Methods. I’ve also taken a lot of pure math classes, participated in REUs for the past two summers, and held plenty of on-campus jobs–including being a FroCo for Trumbull! If you’d like to chat about the major, on-campus jobs, summer research opportunities, or anything else that comes to mind, I’d be happy to meet — feel free to reach out at sara.deangel@yale.edu.
Annie Gu:
Hello everyone! My name is Annie Gu (she/her) and I’m a senior majoring in Applied Mathematics with a concentration in Probability and Statistics and Political Science in Pauli Murray College. I’m originally from New Jersey and cannot wait to meet you all! I’ve done lots of research on campus in different disciplines involving AI and data analytics (CS, economics, political science), taken many different applications/statistics courses, and have been a grader + tutor on campus for a variety of disciplines. Please feel free to reach out to annie.gu@yale.edu with questions about the major, course selection, undergraduate research, career advice, or anything Applied Math at Yale - would love to be of help!
Arohi Nair:
Hey everyone! My name is Arohi Nair (she/her) and I am a senior double majoring in Computer Science & Economics and Applied Mathematics (Probability & Statistics concentration). I am originally from Okemos, Michigan, and my family recently moved to the Boston area. On campus, I have been involved in research across economics, data science, and machine learning. I am also a part of some pre-professional clubs, and did Directed Studies as a first-year! Please feel free to reach out with any questions at arohi.nair@yale.edu!
Elias Leventhal:
Hi everyone - my name is Elias Leventhal (he/him), and I’m a junior Applied Math major with a concentration in Machine Learning. I’m passionate about how machine learning can be used to combat pressing societal problems like cancer and climate change, and I’m hopeful that my Applied Math training will set me up to work at this intersection. Talk to me about class selection, joining research labs, managing time in PSet classes, and even deciding if you want to be an Applied Math major in the first place! You can contact me at elias.leventhal@yale.edu.
