Professor Ambar Sengupta was elected to The Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences (CAAS) in March 2025.  The CAAS was founded in 1799 and is the third-oldest learned society in the United States. Its purpose is the dissemination of scholarly information. For the past 200 years, the Academy has fulfilled this mission through lectures and extensive publications such as Memoirs and Transactions of the Academy that started in 1810. Monthly presentations during the academic year (September-May) provide an opportunity for both the lay person and scholar to hear distinguished speakers discuss current work in the sciences, arts, and humanities.

UConn Math, and its research arm, the MSRC, hosted a reception at the Joint Mathematics Meetings 2026 in Washington, DC. The reception drew a large and exciting gathering of  UConn graduate alumni from over decades,  current department members, students, both graduate and undergraduate, as well as other JMM 2026 participants, including this year’s award winners.

UConn Math will host a one-day workshop on PDEs and applied mathematics on March 7, 2026.  The event will bring together mathematicians from all career stages to explore recent advances in nonlinear PDEs and applied mathematics. Aiming to foster new connections across diverse research groups and strengthen ties within the broader academic community, the workshop will feature both leading experts and emerging scholars.

This workshop is funded by the National Science Foundation and UConn Math’s MSRC.

Professor Damir Dzhafarov will be giving an Association for Symbolic Logic Invited Address at the Joint Mathematics Meetings  in January 2026 at Washington, DC. His lecture is titled “From Topology to Combinatorics, via Computability Theory.”

Professor Álvaro Lozano-Robledo has been appointed to the  editorial board of  The Ramanujan Journal, a major journal in number theory and related fields.

Professor Keith Conrad has joined the American Mathematical Monthly as an Associate Editor. The Monthly is a publication of the Mathematics Association of America and is arguably the most widely read mathematics journal in the world.
