The Academy of Science will honor Dr. Edward Spitznagel on April 6 for his "contributions to the statistical analysis of medical studies."

The International Society for Bayesian Analysis has awarded Dr. Nan Lin and former Ph.D. student Qing Li for their research on the Bayesian Elastic Net.

Mathematics Professor and Chair John McCarthy received the G. de B. Robinson Award in December along with University of California Professor Jim Agler.

University hosts annual conference that helps connect students from underrepresented groups with doctoral programs in mathematics.

Professor Jose Figueroa-Lopez receives an NSF Grant for research on Optimal and Adaptive Nonparametric Methods for High-Frequency Data.

Last weekend, from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2, top statisticians and mathematicians came to Washington University in St. Louis for the first-ever Workshop on Higher-Order Asymptotics and Post-Selection Inference (WHOA-PSI).

Contact and symplectic topology are branches of mathematics that are motivated by Physics, specifically by classical mechanics and thermodynamics. This National Science Foundation funded project seeks to extend the application of physical phenomena to the study of three-dimensional topology.

The Mathematics Department of Washington University in St. Louis, MO, has two openings for tenure track Assistant Professor in mathematics, to begin August 2017.

John Shareshian studies problems in combinatorics that arise in or have consequences for other fields of mathematics. There are close connections between combinatorics and other fields of mathematics in which non-discrete objects are studied, including topology and geometry. The work of Shareshian involves the close study of such connections, with the aim of solving problems about both discrete and non-discrete structures.

John McCarthy has received a five-year grant from the National Science Foundation to study Operator Theory and Applications. He will study problems in operator theory, function theory, and in non-commutative functions.

The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) was held Saturday, December 5, 2015.
