During the summer of 2012, I co-advised an REU group of three undergraduate students at UCLA as part of the
California Research Training Program in Computational and Applied Mathematics. The crime modeling group members were, from left to right in the picture, Daniel Yazdi (UCLA), Jonah Breslau (Pomona), myself, Sorathan Chaturapruek (Harvey Mudd), and Professor Theodore Kolokolnikov (Dalhousie). We studied a crime hotspot model where the criminals moved according to a Levy flight instead of a random walk. The final report and presentation will soon be posted and a journal article has been submitted.
