Her paper, “Numerical Simulation of Jellyfish Swimming,” is available in Volume 8 of "PUMP (Preparing Undergraduate Mathematicians for PhDs): Journal of Undergraduate Research."

The article appears in Volume 10 of The North Carolina Journal of Mathematics and Statistics.

Yokley, professor of mathematics, and Nicholas Luke, professor of mathematics at North Carolina A&T State University, presented their talk “Experiences in Facilitating Mathematical Modeling Research in the NCA&T/Elon Collaborative Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program" during the conference.

Ten students participated in the National Science Foundation-funded 2022 North Carolina A&T State University and Elon University Joint Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) in Mathematical Biology.

The co-directors of the North Carolina A&T State University and Elon University Joint REU in Mathematical Biology reflected on lessons learned while engaging student researchers remotely.

The summer research program on mathematical biology was held for the first time and completely virtually.

The article appears in The North Carolina Journal of Mathematics and Statistics.

Associate Professor of Mathematics Karen Yokley worked with Project NExT Fellows on ideas for using mathematical modeling in various courses.

Yokley and a collaborator have secured nearly $360,000 in National Science Foundation funding for multi-institutional "research experiences for undergraduates" in mathematical biology.
