Martha Precup is the recipient of the 2026-2027 Ruth I. Michler Prize for her research interests which center on the rich combinatorics and algebraic geometry that arise in the study of flag varieties. In her semester at Cornell, she plans to expand on her recent work on Hessenberg varieties and Springer fibers.
Professor Brett D. Wick, in collaboration with Macquarie University Professor Xuan Thinh Duong and others, submitted work in harmonic analysis and spaces of functions on manifolds to the Australian Research Council. Their work was selected as a 2026 ARC Discovery Project, garnering over A$591k (US$384k) in grant funding.
Laura Escobar Vega, assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, won a Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Award from the National Science Foundation for her project “Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry: Flag Varieties, Toric Geometry, and Applications.”
Dr. McCarthy has been awarded an NSF grant for his research on "Operator Analysis and Applications."
Dr. Frankel's research includes low-dimensional topology and geometric group theory.
Washington University in St. Louis mathematician Steven G. Krantz has turned his focus to modeling COVID-19 in hopes that better predictions can help lessen transmission and save lives.
