Every year the College of Arts and Sciences recognizes three faculty with the Templeton Award for Excellence in Student Advising and Mentoring. This year, Prof. David Rohrlich in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics was one of the faculty selected to win this award.

The American Mathematical Society announced that Professor Margaret Beck has been awarded the inaugural AMS Joan and Joseph Birman Fellowship for Women Scholars for the 2018-2019 academic year in recognition of her exceptional research on stability problems in partial differential equations and spatially-extended, infinite-dimensional dynamical systems. In particular, she was cited for her research deeveloping invariant manifold theory for the nonlinear stability and large-time behavior of solutions... Read more »

The Sloan Foundation announced yesterday that Professor Jennifer Balakrishnan was awarded a Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship in Mathematics. This is a prestigious award given to the top 18-20 young, tenure-track assistant professors each year, across all areas of the mathematical sciences in the US and Canada. Jennifer has been recognized for her pioneering research in Number Theory. She was cited for her fundamental theoretical and rigorous computational contributions... Read more »

For his efforts on behalf of the advancement of science, especially of statistics and its applications, Professor Eric Kolaczyk has been elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Website: www.aaas.org

Professor Eric Kolaczyk has been elected as a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. He has been recognized for his pioneering contributions to the development of wavelet-based statistical methods and of multi-scale statistical methods, as well as for his more recent transformative research advancing both the development and application of statistical methods for data on networks.

Professor Stephen Grossberg has been named the recipient of the 2017 IEEE Frank Rosenblatt Award for his contributions to understanding brain cognition and behavior and their emulation by technology. Awarded annually since 2004, this prize recognizes outstanding scientists who have made contributions to biologically and linguistically motivated computational paradigms and systems.
