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.
A panel discussion on questions of diversity and inclusion that will help identify relevant initiatives to attract women to research in the mathematical sciences, and more particularly at IHES.
Panelists will be:
Eva Bayer-Fluckiger, Professor Emeritus at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne,
Kathryn Leonard, president of the Association of Women in Mathematics, and
The project МАТЕМАТИКА, through a land of mathematics tells stories of ten Russian women from nine different cities who contribute, directly or indirectly, to the research in mathematics. Each one of them, in her unique way, is engaged into mathematics.
Russia is a very special place for mathematics, and this project is an attempt to sketch an impression of modern Russian mathematics in many of its different aspects.
May 12 was chosen for the Celebration of Women in Mathematics because it is the birthdate of Maryam Mirzakhani. The initiative was proposed by the Women's Committee of the Iranian Mathematical Society and voted by a vast majority of attendees to (WM)², the World Meeting for Women on Mathematics on last July 31 in Rio.
CWM congratulates Austrian mathematician Anna Kiesenhofer for her stunning performance in the women’s road race, road cycling, winning a gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics
Distinguished University of Washington mathematician will lead international math institute
Addressing the gender gap in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is a major goal of many countries. Initiatives established to meet this challenge are broad ranging from intervention programs in primary, secondary and tertiary education to industry-based interventions targeted at the workplace
