Major Faculty Research Prizes
Recent Faculty Research Recognition
- Professor Jeffrey Adams was
the 2009 recipient of the
Kirwan Faculty
Research and Scholarship Prize, which is awarded annually to a Maryland
faculty member for a ``highly significant work of research, scholarship,
or artistic creativity completed withing the past three years''. Adams
received this prize for leading the international project
``Atlas of Lie
Groups and Representations'', which is developing and applying
revolutionary computer techniques to the theoretical study of symmetry.
The ultimate goal of this project is to solve one of the most important
problems in mathematics, that of the Unitary Dual for Representations of
Real Lie Groups.
- Professor Dmitry Dolgopyat has been named
as the winner of the 2009 Michael Brin Prize for research in
dynamical systems. The goal of
the prize is to recognize mathematicians who have made substantial impact
to research in dynamical systems at an early stage of their careers.
- Associate Professor Dio Margetis
received a highly coveted NSF
CAREER award in support of his research on Thermodynamic
and kinetic approaches for epitaxial material systems.
This grant is supported by both the Division of Mathematical Sciences and
the Division of Materials Research.
- Of the four Regional
Conferences in the Mathematical Sciences sponsored by the CBMS
(Conference Board of the Mathmatical Sciences) and NSF in Summer 2009,
two had principal lecturers from the Maryland Math Department,
Jonathan Rosenberg and
Scott Wolpert. Their lectures have been published
as volumes 111 and 113 of the CBMS
Regional Conference Series in Mathematics book series.
- Professors William Goldman and
Ricardo Nochetto have been invited to give
addresses at the International Congress
of Mathematicians in Hyderabad, India, August, 2010.
William Goldman is also a co-chair of the Satellite Conference on
Geometry, Topology and Dynamics of Character Varieties in Singapore.
Jonathan Rosenberg served on the Programme Committee of the
Satellite Conference on
Operator Algebras in Chennai.
