Marithania Silvero Casanova receives Vicent Caselles research prize for disproving a conjecture in knot theory
Marithania Silvero Casanova was not yet born when Louis Kauffman stated in 1983 the conjecture that established that two particular families of knots were equivalent. Silvero, born in Huelva in 1989, refuted the conjecture in 2015. Her finding has been recognized with the Vicent Caselles research prize, awarded by the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society and the BBVA Foundation.

Nominations for Maryam Mirzakhani Prize in Mathematics, 7 October 2019
In recognition of Dr. Mirzakhani’s remarkable life and achievements, the National Academy of Sciences has established a newly named Maryam Mirzakhani Prize in Mathematics (formerly the NAS Award in Mathematics, which was established in 1988 by the American Mathematical Society in honor of its centennial). The prize will be awarded biennially for exceptional contributions to the mathematical sciences by a mid-career mathematician. Nominations for the inaugural Mirzakhani Prize are due by October 7, 2019.
Carola Schönlieb receives the 2019 Calderon Prize
Carola Schönlieb has received the 2019 Calderon Prize, which is a prize for the Inverse Problems field (awarded biennially starting in 2007). Carola Schönlieb is the first woman mathematician that received this award, her work being in image processing and partial differential equations.
Carola Schönlieb is the current covenor of European Women in Mathematics.
