Cal Heldt
- Scott Scholar | Class of 2027
- Mathematics
Additional Information
This past summer, Calum participated in a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) in mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University, where his research focused on liquid crystals. In the summer of 2024, he worked on a software development project to create visualizations that make advanced math and computer science topics more accessible. Additionally, Calum was a 2023–2024 NASA Nebraska Space Grant recipient, conducting research in Galois theory and presenting at the 2024 Hopf Algebra and Galois Module Theory Conference. At UNO, he serves as Math Club president and works as a learning assistant, teaching assistant, and grader. Calum also coaches the Westside Middle School math team and volunteers for the Nebraska Mycological Society. Following graduation, Calum plans to pursue a PhD at the University of Exeter, aiming for a career in mathematics focused on partial differential equations and using those skills to study environmental problems.
