The 2020 Emma Castelnuovo Award was given during the ICME 14 in Shanghai to NCTM – the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (USA and Canada). The congress was delayed, and then took place as a Hybrid Conference from July 11 to 18, 2021. The Award Lecture was held by Trena L. Wilkerson.
The list of the mathematicians who will give the invited lectures during the ICM2022 program was officially published. CWM is happy to report that the proportion of women (plenary and sectional) lecturers has reached a little more than 20%. For the previous ICMs (Rio 2018, Seoul 2014, Hyderabad 2010) the proportion had stabilized around 15 %, after a period of growth starting in the 1990s.
This prize rewards two very junior female students (last year of bachelor's degree or first year of master's degree) for a first research work or bibliographic study in mathematics. A prize is awarded for work in fundamental mathematics and another for work in mathematics at interfaces.
Three Maryam Mirzakhani New Frontiers Prizes were awarded to early-career women mathematicians:
Sarah Peluse, Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University (PhD Stanford University 2019)
For contributions to arithmetic combinatorics and analytic number theory, particularly with regards to polynomial patterns in dense sets.
Hong Wang, University of California, Los Angeles (PhD MIT 2019)
For advances on the restriction conjecture, the local smoothing conjecture, and related problems.
The Association for Women in Mathematics is pleased to announce that the recipient of the 2022 AWM-Sadosky Research Prize in Analysis will be Yaiza Canzani, Associate Professor of Mathematics at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Canzani is honored for outstanding contributions in spectral geometry and microlocal analysis.
On August 6th 2021 19:00-21:00, there was an online Film Screening Event of “Secret of the Surface”, with Japanese subtitles at the University of Tokyo. Iorganized by Go Global Gateway and Kavli IPMU. The audience were undergraduate students in several departments. Yukari Ito (Kavli IPMU) introduced the film and gave a lecture on the mathematics and her experience abroad too.
