Professor John Shareshian will speak at the American Mathematical Society's 2026 Spring Southeastern Sectional Meeting.

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.

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.

Fiona Vaughn was one of seven staff members to be named a 2025 Outstanding Staff Award Winner in Arts & Sciences.

The Department of Mathematics is delighted to announce that Professor Brett D. Wick has been appointed as the inaugural Robert G. and Maxine W. Scheibe Professor of Mathematics, effective October 1, 2025.

Her research focuses on analyzing neural networks and implementing defensive mechanisms against adversarial examples with applications in tsunami prediction.

Seven teaching-track and practice-track faculty members will receive funding to develop innovative pedagogical techniques as part of a new award program in Arts & Sciences. The recipients of the inaugural Arts & Sciences Teaching Innovation Awards include Silas Johnson, lecturer in mathematics.

Ljupcho Petrov, a third-year Ph.D. candidate in mathematics, has been honored with the 2024 Dean's Award for Teaching Excellence.
