Daniel Owusu Adu Limited Term Assistant Professor,
Department of Mathematics,
University of Georgia

My graduate studies in the Queen's Department of Mathematics and Statistics had a profound impact on my academic and professional journey. Not only did I receive a solid academic foundation, but I also experienced a supportive and inspiring environment that continues to influence me today.

One of the standout features during my time at Queen's was the peaceful and picturesque setting of Kingston, Ontario. This tranquil backdrop provided an ideal environment for focused learning and research. Kingston's charm, combined with the warmth of its people, made it a welcoming place to pursue my graduate education.

What truly made my experience exceptional was the supportive community of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. From the start, I felt part of a close-knit family of passionate individuals in the department. This camaraderie among students, faculty, and staff created an encouraging atmosphere that nurtured both my personal and academic growth.

The professors in the department are not just educators; they are mentors who genuinely care about their students' well-being. Their dedication went beyond the classroom, providing guidance and support in my academic journey.

During my time at the department, I discovered a new passion for Optimal Transport Theory, which has become a significant focus of my research. This newfound interest was sparked by an engaging teaching approach that inspired me to explore this field further.

My advisor played a crucial role in shaping my academic attitude. Beyond research guidance, he instilled in me a deep appreciation for breaking down complex problems and finding the beauty within mathematics. His support and love continues to influence my approach to research and problem-solving.

I will confidently say that Queen’s Department of Mathematics and Statistics is my career cornerstone and the foundation laid at the department continues to influence my work today, and I am deeply grateful for the experiences and lessons gained during my time there.
