UConn Math Awards Day 2026

Wednesday, April 22, we gathered to celebrate our students, both undergraduate and graduate, at the annual Awards Day ceremony. Seventeen awards were made at the event. From the induction of PME society students to awards for graduate students, it was a joyful afternoon, with delicious refreshments served. Thanks to all who helped made this event so successful, and special thanks to Rachel D’Antonio for her role over many weeks in putting the entire event together.
This year’s student awards included new ones: the Ezell undergraduate and graduate awards. The graduate award went to Anh Do and the undergraduate award winner was Srijan Raghunath.

Graduate Research Forum 2026 held on May 2

On Saturday, May 2, 2026,  the 2026 Graduate Research Forum was held to showcase and celebrate our graduate students’ accomplishments.  Eleven PhD-candidate speakers as well as one of our PhD-alumni presented talks on their research work, demonstrating the wide spectrum of our department’s research activities. The audience included graduate and undergraduate students as well as many of our colleagues. The atmosphere was cheerful, and a good time was had by all.   The event was sponsored by the UConn Math Department’s Mathematical Sciences Research Collaboratory and the Graduate Program.

Professor Ambar Sengupta elected to the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences

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.
