Title and Abstract CNAS Scholarship Please join us in congratulating Andrea Stine on being awarded the CNAS Scholarship Inclusive Excellence Travel Fund Award! The Inclusive Excellence Travel Fund will be awarded to underrepresented graduate students in a STEM field of study who have the opportunity to meaningfully participate in an academic conference (in person or virtual) and are making acceptable progress within normative time toward a degree. NSF Career Award - Weitao Chen The Mathematics Department proudly announces that Professor Weitao Chen is the winner of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award on Multiscale Model for Cell Morphogenesis and Tissue Development in Plant Leaves . NSF Career Award - Brian Collier The Mathematics Department proudly announces that Professor Brian Collier is the winner of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award on Higgs bundles and Anosov representations . Riverside Workshop on Geometric Group Theory The 2024 edition of the Riverside Workshop on Geometric Group Theory will take place at UCR over May 3 rd - 6 th . It will feature mini-courses by Inhyeok Choi (KAIS) on random walks on groups, Emily Stark (Wesleyan) on boundaries of hyperbolic groups, and Abdul Zalloum (Toronto) on constructing hyperbolic and injective metrics via walls, as well as introductory courses given by graduate students. Please register here by February 1 st if you are interested in attending. Poster 13th Annual Southern California Systems Biology Symposium The 13th Annual Southern California Systems Biology Symposium , to be held at UC Irvine on Saturday, March 16th, 2024, will bring together researchers from across California to share research, build community, and stimulate collaborations in mathematical and systems biology. Dr. Larry Harper Remembered The Mathematics Department extends its deepest sympathies to family and friends of Professor Emeritus Larry Harper. Dr. Harper passed away peacefully last October. Dr. Harper was a great contributor to mathematics, an influential colleague and a friend to so many.

Illustration by Dr. John de Pillis Past Highlights Microtutorials The Microtutorials in Mathematics project team at UCR has conceived a new approach to producing a collection of micro-tutorials as supplementary instructional and learning materials. The intent is to assist the students and instructors to connect calculus with applications in various subject matters. The students could use them freely on any topics of their choice. The videos are produced with follow-up questions to enable instructors to flip their classrooms if desired. For details, please visit its website: https://microtutorials.ucr.edu Learn More Math Alliance: Providing educational success to underrepresented and first-generation students is an important part of UCR’s mission. "Our goal is simple: we want to be sure that every underrepresented or under-served American student with the talent and the ambition has the opportunity to earn a doctoral degree in a mathematical or statistical science." If you are interested in becoming a Math Alliance Scholar, please feel free to contact Dr. Matthew Durham . The benefits include access to Math Alliances Facilitated Graduate Applications Process and possible funding to go the the Alliance’s Field of Dreams conference . Events Breaking glass optimally and Minkowski’s problem for polytopes May 15, 2024 @ 4:00 pm Zoom Jian-Guo Liu, Duke University Motivated by a study of least-action incompressible flows, we study all of the ways that a given convex body in Euclidean space can break into countably many pieces that move away from each other rigidly at constant velocity. Assuming they satisfy a least-action principle from optimal… View Event » Distinguished Burton Jones Lecture 2024 - Dessislava Kochloukova May 08, 2024 @ 3:30 pm Skye 284 This year’s Distinguished Burton Jones lecture will be given by Professor Dessislava Kochloukova from State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) on May 8th at 4:00 p.m. in Skye Hall 284.
