Professors Lan-Hsuan Huang and Damin Wu have been appointed as members of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton during the academic year 2018-2019. The membership will provide support for Professors Huang and Wu to spend a sabbatical year participating in the IAS special year program on Variational Methods in Geometry.

Professor Huang’s tenure at IAS will be supported by a von Neumann Fellowship. The highly selective von Neumann fellowship program supports early-career mathematicians as members at IAS for a year.

In addition, Professor Huang is one of the 2018 Simons Fellows in Mathematics. The Simons fellowship will provide additional sabbatical funding to support Professor Huang’s research proposal “Geometry of General Relativity,” allowing her to extend her sabbatical leave to the full academic year 2018-2019.

Professor Fabrice Baudoin has been invited to give a series of lectures on Geometric inequalities on sub-Riemannian manifolds at the Tata Institute

Raji Majumdar and Anthony Sisti, both majors in mathematics, will be presenting posters Applications of Multiplicative LLN and CLT for Random Matrices and Black-Scholes using the Central Limit Theorem on Friday, January 12 at the MAA Student Poster Session, and both of them will be giving talks on Saturday, January 13 at the AMS Contributed Paper Session on Research in Applied Mathematics by Undergraduate and Post-Baccalaureate Students. You can find their posters here.

This summer the Mathematics REU program on stochastics and fractals is organized by Professors Luke Rogers, Masha Gordina and Sasha Teplyaev. In addition, Luke Rogers, Phanuel Mariano and Gamal Mograby organized the 5th Northeast Mathematics Undergraduate Research Mini-Symposium at the University of Connecticut on August 3rd, 2017. The program is supported by an NSF REU Site Grant. Visit the UConn Math REU Page for more information.
