Mathematicians win national awards, appointed U.S. SIAM fellows

Four UBC mathematicians have been recognized for their research contributions with awards and fellowships.

Dong Li, a UBC researcher with a focus on fluid dynamics, mathematical biology and mathematical physics, is the winner of the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) 2015 Coxeter-James prize.

Alejandro Adem, a leading expert in group cohomology and the geometry of group actions, was the recipient of the 2015 CMS Jeffery-Williams Prize.

Two mathematicians were recognized by the American-based Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics: Fred Brauer and Rachel Kuske have joined the Society’s new cohort of fellows. The fellowships recognize outstanding contributions to the fields of applied mathematics and computational science.
