Spotlight

Thomas Walpuski named 2018 Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow in Mathematics

Thomas Walpuski has been selected as a 2018 Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow in Mathematics for his work on gauge theory of G2 manifolds and the analysis of generalized Seiberg-Witten equations. Typically only 20 Sloan Fellows are awarded annually in all areas of mathematics.

Kristen Hendricks recieves NSF CAREER Award

Kristen Hendricks received an NSF CAREER award supporting her outstanding research in Heegaard Floer homology, stellar undergraduate and graduate mentoring, and outreach efforts. Typically fewer than 35 CAREER awards are made each year over the whole of the Division of Mathematical Sciences at the NSF. Click here to learn more about this year's NSF CAREER Award recipients.

Yingda Cheng named 2018 Simons Fellow in Mathematics

Yingda Cheng received a 2018 Simon Foundation Fellowship supporting her cutting edge research on discontinuous Galerkin methods with applications to semiconductor device simulations, plasma physics, and nonlinear optics. Only 40 Simons Fellowships are awarded over all of mathematics each year.

George Pappas Receives 2018 ICM Invitation

Professor George Pappas has been invited to address the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio next August. This great honor recognizes his distinguished work in arithmetic algebraic geometry.

Taylor Joseph and Jenna Jerwers Receive Outstanding Senior Awards

Jenna Jerwers and Taylor Joseph were recently awarded the Outstanding Senior awards, which are presented to graduating seniors who have demonstrated exemplary academic and extracurricular successes, and a strong sense of leadership, commitment and dedication to MSU. These prizes are awarded annually by the Michigan State University's Senior Class Council. Taylor Joseph, a mathematics major, has also been awarded the Leroy Augenstein Memorial Scholarship from the College of Natural Science.

Zachary Bezemek named Dean's Research Scholar

Undergraduate student Zachary Bezemek has been named a Dean's Research Scholar by the College of Natural Science for the 2017-2018 academic year.
