Congratulation to Professor Ziquan Zhuang on being awarded a 2023 Sloan Research Fellowship. Prof. Zhuang is one of 126 outstanding early-career researchers honored this year. He is recognized for his contributions in the field of algebraic geometry.
While the concept of infinity may seem mysterious, mathematicians have developed processes to reason the strange properties of infinity. Professor Emily Riehl has been challenged to explain infinity to 5 different people; a child, a teen, a college student, a grad student, and an expert.
Congratulation to Professor Fei Lu on being awarded a CAREER grant from the NSF. Prof. Lu’s award project, titled “Learning kernels in operators from high-dimensional data: scalable algorithms, theory, and applications”, aims to develop a unified computational approach for the nonparametric learning of kernels/functions in operators from high- or infinite-dimensional data, and introduce scalable algorithms with performance guarantees in a variational framework.
Congratulation to Professor Christopher Sogge on being awarded a prestigious fellowship from the Simons Foundation. Prof. Sogge will use this fellowship to travel to visit his collaborators, continuing his work on Harmonic Analysis on Riemannian manifolds. He plans to spend a couple of months visiting the University of Washington, Seattle, and he also plans to visit UCLA.
Congratulations to Professor Yiannis Sakellaridis on his selection as a member of the 2023 class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society. He was selected for his contributions to representation theory and the theory of automorphic forms, and for service to the mathematical community.
The Johns Hopkins Junior Number Theory Days are a two-day workshop in Number Theory, where the speakers are either PhD students who are graduating, or post-docs who recently graduated. It aims to bring together strong, promising young researchers in Number Theory and neighboring fields, and to give them an opportunity to showcase their work.
The Department of Mathematics congratulates Masaaki Furusawa of the Osaka City University, a former PhD student of Math Professor Joseph A. Shalika at JHU, on being awarded one of the 2022 Algebra Prizes of the Mathematical Society of Japan.
Fall 2022 Algebra and Number Theory Day will be held on Saturday, November 12, 2022 at the University of Maryland, College Park. The speakers will be Tony Feng (Berkeley), Michael Larsen (Indiana), and Burt Totaro (UCLA).
Steve Zelditch, a member of the Department of Mathematics from 1985 to 2010, died on September 11. He served as department chair from 1999 to 2002, and was an editor of the American Journal of Mathematics for many years.
The Fall 2022 Kempf Lecture will be delivered by Andras Vasy (Stanford University) on October 13, 2022 at 4:00–5:00pm.
