Chiang Receives Waterman Award
The AMS has awarded its Centennial Fellowship for 2013–2014 to Xinwen Zhu of Northwestern University. The fellowship carries a stipend of US$82,000, an expense allowance of US$8,200, and a complimentary Society membership for one year. Xinwen Zhu was born in China in 1982. He went to Peking University in China for undergraduate study and completed his Ph.D. degree at the University of California Berkeley in 2009 under the direction of Edward Frenkel. He was a Benjamin Peirce Lecturer at Xinwen Zhu Harvard University from 2009 to 2012. He has been an assistant professor at Northwestern University since 2012. Xinwen Zhu’s research interests focus on geometric representation theory, in particular the geometric aspects of the Langlands program. He studies the geometry and topology of flag varieties of loop groups and applies techniques from the geometric Langlands program to arithmetic geometry. He will use the Centennial Fellowship to visit Columbia University for several months during 2013–2014. During 2014–2015, he will use the fellowship to visit UC Berkeley and will participate in the program “Geometric Representation Theory” at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. Please note: Information about the competition for the 2014–2015 AMS Centennial Fellowships will be published in the “Mathematics Opportunities” section of an upcoming issue of the Notices.
Mung Chiang of Princeton University has been named the recipient of the Alan T. Waterman Award of the National Science Foundation (NSF). Chiang is an electrical engineer who uses innovative mathematical analyses to design simpler and more powerful wireless networks. He is the founder of Princeton’s EDGE Laboratory, which aims to connect network theory and real-world applications. He has also been a recipient of the U.S. Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) and of the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award. The Waterman Award is given annually to honor outstanding researchers under the age of thirty-five in any field of science or engineering supported by NSF. It carries an award of US$1 million spread over five years to further the recipient’s research. —From an NSF announcement
Tolsa Awarded Balaguer Prize Xavier Tolsa of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona has been awarded the 2013 Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Prize for his monograph Analytic Capacity, the Cauchy Transform, and Nonhomogeneous Calderón-Zygmund Theory. The monograph studies some of the striking advances that have occurred regarding analytic capacity and its relationship with rectifiability in the last two decades. The Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Foundation of the Institut d’Estudis Catalans (IEC) awards this international prize every year to honor the memory of Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer (1912–1967), a self-taught Catalan mathematician who gained international recognition for his research in mathematical analysis despite the serious physical disabilities with which he was born. The prize carries a cash award of 15,000 euros (approximately US$20,000); the winning monographs are published by Birkhäuser Verlag. —From a Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Foundation announcement

The Canadian Mathematical Society has awarded a number of prizes for 2013. Chantal David of Concordia University has been awarded the 2013 Krieger-Nelson Prize for her work in number theory. The prize recognizes female mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions in the area of mathematical research. According to the prize citation, her work focuses on understanding distribution questions associated to arithmetic objects such as elliptic curves, abelian varieties, and families of curves over finite fields. Zinovy Reichstein of the University of British Columbia has been awarded the 2013 Jeffery-Williams Prize for Research Excellence for his contributions to the fields of algebra, algebraic geometry, and algebraic groups. The prize citation reads in part: “Reichstein’s most notable research accomplishment is the discovery of an entirely new branch of study known as the essential dimension. Informally speaking, the essential dimension of an algebraic object is the minimal number of independent parameters one needs to define it. Essential dimension has proved to of the

Mathematics People be a natural way to measure how complex an algebraic group is and, since its development, has been explored by mathematicians all over the world.” The Jeffery-Williams Prize is awarded annually to an individual who has made outstanding mathematical research contributions. Balázs Szegedy of the University of Toronto has been awarded the 2013 Coxeter-James Prize for young mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions to mathematical research. He was honored for his work in graph theory, analysis, and discrete mathematics. The prize citation reads in part: “Balázs Szegedy is interested in the asymptotic behaviour of very large systems such as the human brain as neural network, the Internet, and social networks. He also uses higher order Fourier analysis to deal with ‘resonance patterns’ found in chaotic waves. These generalize the Fourier transform that our inner ears are able to perform to listen to music.” He has published and coauthored a number of papers in highly rated mathematics journals such as the Journal of the AMS, Combinatorica, and the Journal of Combinatorial Theory. He has been awarded the European Prize in Combinatorics (2009), a Sloan Fellowship (2009), and the Fulkerson Prize (2012).

Harada Awarded Michler Prize
Putnam Prizes Awarded
Megumi Harada of McMaster University has been awarded the 2013–2014 Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM). Harada was chosen for her “wide range of mathematical talents and her many connections with mathematics faculty at Cornell.” Her research involves the interface of symplectic geometry, algebraic geometry, geometric representation theory, and algebraic combinatorics. In particular she studies classes of varieties such as toric varieties, Kac-Moody flag varieties G/P, and Hessenber varieties. At Cornell she plans to work with her long-term collaborators: Reyer Sjamar on divided difference operators in equivariant K-theory and a K-theoretic Martin theorem, and Tara Holm on the equivariant K-theory of orbifold toric varieties. Harada received her Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California Berkeley in 2003 under the direction of Allen Knutson, who is now a faculty member at Cornell. She held a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Toronto, as well as visiting positions at the Hausdorff Research Institute for Mathematics, the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, and the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics. She is currently an associate professor at McMaster. The Ruth I. Michler Prize grants a midcareer woman in academia a residential fellowship in the Cornell University mathematics department without teaching obligations.

Cheney Awarded Kovalevsky Lectureship Margaret Cheney of Colorado State University has been chosen as the AWM-SIAM Sonia Kovalevsky Lecturer for 2013 by the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM). According to the citation, she was honored “in recognition of her broad line of research that is coupling disparate radar solutions in ways previously unrecognized. Her application of microlocal analysis to high-frequency radar scattering, a method largely unknown to the radar community, has proven to be especially relevant to the problems of radar target detection, tracking, and imaging. Using these tools, she has shown how the essential behavior of a wide variety of radar scattering scenarios can be isolated from secondary phenomena. Moreover, her unconventional approach has developed solutions to several long-standing problems in radar imaging that have heretofore defied complete analysis.” Cheney will deliver 768
