The Mathematics department is delighted to announce the recipients of the 2021-22 TA Awards --

• Tai-Hsuan Chung was praised as a devoted and enthusiastic instructor with a contagious love of mathematics.
• Thomas Grubb was noted as instrumental to the success of Math 157, developing much of the content, methodology and overall tenor of the course.
• Somak Maitra is a 'go-to' TA for entry level mathematics, where his students rave about his commitment to teaching and willingness to help
• Nicholas Sieger was singled out for his clear passion for teaching and his willingness to always 'do more' to help in the running of his courses
• Ji Zeng was commended as being professional, helpful and knowledgeable - with students finding him a more valuable resource than the textbook  

Please join us in celebrating this year's awardees!

Congratulations to PhD student Eva Loeser - recipient of the 2021-22 GPSA Community Award for Peer Mentorship.  This award honors a graduate student at UC San Diego who has proven to be an excellent source of advice and wisdom for their colleagues in graduate school. Eva has shown a strong dedication and ability to advise her fellow graduate students on issues related to academics as well as general life skills, and her efforts towards peer mentorship (particularly as part of the rebirth of the Association for Women in Mathematics) has significantly enhanced the graduate school experience of our students.  Congratulations on the recognition Eva.

The Department of Mathematics is pleased to announce that Jiaqi Liu, Jason O'Neill, Samir Canning, and Suhan Zhong have been awarded a 2021-2022 Powell Dissertation Fellowship, which provides funds to support research, and that Zilu Ma, Xiaoou Pan, and Zirui Zhang have been awarded a 2021-2022 Powell Dissertation Award. Congratulations to all of the awardees!

Congratulations to the 2021-22 recipients of the Richard Libby Graduate Research Award

Somak Maitra & Kejin Wu (both advised by Dimitris Politis)

Richard Libby ('80, MA '82, PhD) received his degrees in mathematics at UC San Diego.  His generous contributions support graduate student research in our department in the areas of market analysis, quantitative finance, and related fields.  This includes, but is not limited to, research exploring the measurement, estimation, and implications of extreme events on financial markets and the broader economy with the potential to cause breakdown and systemic risk. The research may also include the extent to which the risks associated with these events can be managed by financial institutions, regulators, and households, along with the possibility of predicting and quantifying the magnitude and frequency of such events.

The Mathematics Honors Presentation Schedule: 

• Wednesday, May 4th
  • 9:00-9:30 AM: Hantao Yu
  • 9:30-10 AM: Junchen Zhao 1
  • :00-1:30 PM: Andrew Dennehy
  • 1:30-2:00 PM: Aidan Epperly
• Friday, May 6th
