Officers

We hold office hours and run events with the help of volunteers from the Berkeley mathematics community. Most of our officers are familiar with many of the math courses required for the math and applied math majors.

The current office hours schedule is posted on the lounge page.

Becoming a MUSA officer is a great way to get involved. If you're interested, keep an eye on our mailing list or this website at the start of each semester!

We also have a list of former officers from 2014 onwards, though MUSA has been around for at least a couple decades prior to that.

Alex Olhava (he/him)	Salvē! I am Alex Olhava and I am a fourth year Math major and student of Latin (no major). I am still exploring a lot of math, but right now my favorite objects in math are manifolds. I have a lot of thoughts on music and books, so come stop by the office if you want to talk about that or, of course, being a math student at Berkeley.
President

Chloe Lynn (she/her)	Hey, I'm Chloe! I'm a third-year from Los Altos, California majoring in Applied Math. Right now, I'm interested in elliptic curves and anything in the realm of quantum physics. Outside of math, I love to run, read memoirs, play card games, and host dinner parties. Swing by my office hours if you want to talk about math, play a round of rummy, or hear my Schrodinger's cat joke!
Vice President

Adrian Fry	Hi! I'm a second year student studying pure math. Currently, I'm most interested in analysis, but really my favorite part of math is solving problems. I enjoy learning new things -not only quantitative stuff; I also like history and politics- and in my spare time I like to read, play/listen to music (I play trombone and piano), exercise (right now, my favorite sports are table tennis and biking), and eat.
Academic Chair

Alejandro Leyva (he/him)	Hello! I'm a second year student studying math and physics and am especially interested in the areas where the two overlap. In my free time I enjoy reading, running, and beating in the outdoors. I'm super excited to be an officer, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Publicity Chair

Declan Hoban	Hey there! I'm a fourth-year student from Oregon interested in analysis, applied mathematics, and physics, particularly when these fields intersect nontrivially. In my free time, you can find me playing Sudoku, cycling up to Grizzly Peak, or cooking good food. Please reach out if you'd like to talk about math @ Berkeley, or you just want to chat!
Outreach Chair

Erica Pan (she/her)	Hi! I'm Erica, a junior double majoring in Applied Mathematics and Economics and minoring in music! I'm a dancer and musician and I love reading books in my free-time. I'm also a huge foodie and aim to try most (if not all) of the restaurants at Berkeley. If you're reading this, come say hi!
Social Chair

Dianoosh Sabetnejad	Hi, my name is Dianoosh, and I’m a junior transfer student majoring in physics and applied mathematics. My academic interests include geometry, nuclear and particle physics.
