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.

The Department of Mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis is proud to announce that Professor Rachel Roberts has been named a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) for 2026.

President of the new student-led math club invites other number-minded members.

Ari Stern and graduate student Sanah Suri are developing new mathematics to describe the simulation of complex dynamical systems, a theoretical endeavor with real-world implications.

Martha Precup has won a prestigious National Science Foundation award for a project uncovering patterns in complex data.

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.”
