Professor Guozhen Lu has been named a Fellow of the Association for Women in Mathematics. The citation for Guozhen says this honor is:

For his sustained support and service to AWM, mentorship of early and mid-career female scientists, and advocacy in the career advancement of talented female mathematicians, including recognition in the form of honors and awards.
Congratulations, Guozhen!
As described on the AWM website, the AWM Fellows Program  recognizes  members who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to the support and advancement of women in the mathematical sciences, consistent with the AWM mission: “to create a community in which women and girls can thrive in their mathematical endeavors, and to promote equitable opportunity and treatment of women and others of marginalized genders and gender identities across the mathematical sciences.”
This is the first time a member of the UConn Mathematics Department’s faculty has been named a Fellow of the AWM. Guozhen was elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (Class of 2023)  earlier this year and is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (Class of 2018).
