Recent Department News
Matthew Badger Awarded NSF Postdoc
January 2012: Congratulations to Matthew Badger, who was recently awarded a prestigious NSF Postdoctoral
Fellowship. Matthew earned his PhD at UW in 2011 under the supervision of Tatiana Toro and now studies geometric measure theory at Stony Brook
University. He plans to use the fellowship to work with Chris Bishop and Raanan Schul at Stony Brook. His research will focus on questions
at the interface of geometric measure theory and harmonic analysis.
UW Math Circle
January 2012: The UW Math Circle middle school outreach program, coordinated by Julia Pevtsova and supported by two

Assistant Professor and RTG Postdoctoral Fellow (PhD, UCLA 2011), studies geometric measure theory, analysis on metric spaces, and harmonic analysis.
Kenneth Chan, Acting Assistant Professor (PhD, University of New South Wales 2010) studies noncommutative algebra and algebraic geometry. Benjamin
Lundell, Acting Assistant Professor (PhD, Cornell University 2011) studies number theory. Linh Vinh Tran, Acting Assistant Professor (PhD, Rutgers
University 2011) studies probabilistic and additive combinatorics. Chelsea Walton, NSF Postdoctoral Fellow (PhD, University of Michigan 2011)
studies noncommutative algebra and representation theory.
Survey ranks UW fifth worldwide in mathematics
June 2011: A survey conducted for the Times High Education magazine has ranked the University of Washington fifth in
the world for mathematics. This ranking, based on 2001-2011 data provided by Thomson Reuters, includes the contributions of all of the UW mathematical
sciences departments and of mathematically oriented faculty in other science and engineering departments. More information about the survey and its
results may be found here.
