Hello, I'm

Sanjay Dagam

Researcher · Mathematician · Advocate

I'm a junior at Brookfield Academy with research at UW–Madison and the University of Illinois Chicago, a published iOS app, a co-founded nonprofit, and a statewide mental health initiative in progress. My work sits at the intersection of mathematics, science, and building things that matter.

What I'm Working On

🔬

Research

Six active projects spanning network epidemiology, Wisconsin climate analysis, wildfire smoke and ozone, satellite-based air quality prediction, and agricultural simulation — with UW–Madison, UIC, and the Wisconsin DNR.

🌱

Wisconsin Students for Students

A co-founded 501(c)(3) providing free math enrichment to girls and low-income middle schoolers across southeastern Wisconsin.

2,500+ volunteer hours 300+ classes taught 200+ students reached
📐

Applied Math Blog

A weekly blog with 156 articles exploring how mathematics shapes the real world — from statistics and network science to differential equations and real analysis. Written for curious readers, not specialists.

📖

Linear Algebra Textbook

A visual, application-driven introduction to linear algebra written for high school students who have completed AP Calculus.

💚

Mental Health Initiative

Two initiatives in progress: Minds Matter at BA, a student mental health club at Brookfield Academy, and Speak Up Wisconsin, a statewide student-led organization dedicated to eliminating mental health stigma across Wisconsin.

📱

iOS Apps

Empower — a mental health app for teenagers — is live on the App Store. A second app, Linear Algebra Explorer, is in development.
