Research

Our faculty members engage in interesting research projects, many of which involve students. Recent examples of such projects include:

• Cracking Matrix Encryption Row by Row - a research project completed by a former York College student (Katherine Millward) working with Craig Bauer, Ph.D., that was published in the journal Cryptologia.
• Representation Theory of Finite Groups - an independent study project completed by a current York College Student (Amanda Parshall) working with Haiping Yaun, Ph.D.
• A Classification of Quadratic Rook Polynomials - a research project conducted with current York College students (Samantha Tabackin and Alicia Velek) working with Frederick Butler, Ph.D.
