Tania Gonzales
Ph.D. student, Mathematics
Research Interests:
Tania’s research interests are in mathematical biology, particularly in using mathematical models to study biological systems. She is interested in areas such as population dynamics, disease spread, and modeling neuron function to better understand how mathematical approaches can provide insights into complex biological processes.
Road to the Moody School:
Before coming to 91ΧΤΕΔ, Tania earned her B.S. in Mathematics with a minor in Statistics from Sam Houston State University. A proud first-generation college student and Mexican American, she is passionate about increasing representation and equity in higher education. Tania’s goal is to become a university professor, conducting meaningful research while serving as a voice and advocate for women in mathematics. She hopes to gain tenure at a Hispanic-serving institution, where she can inspire and support the next generation of underrepresented students in STEM.
