  • Robin Nelson

    My name is Robin Nelson, I study math, statistics, and psychology at the University of Utah. I am from Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, and am here in the department as a research intern for the summer. Math has always been my passion since I was young. When I got older, I took an interest in psychology and decided to study statistics and psychology at my university, as the two subjects complement each other well. In my free time I do ballet, gymnastics, and play the piano!
