Our PhD student Laura Casabella has been honored with the Young Talent Award by the Special Interest Group Computer Algebra – Fachgruppe Computeralgebra.
From June 2 to 4, our institute hosted the 11th conference of the Fachgruppe Computeralgebra. Traditionally, the final day of the conference includes the presentation of the Young Talent Award, which recognizes outstanding contributed talks by early-career researchers. Laura received the award for her contribution "Wronski systems of real honeycomb curves." The prize includes €500 in funding and an invitation to give a keynote lecture at the next conference.
Laura Casabella is a doctoral researcher in the Nonlinear Algebra group led by Bernd Sturmfels. Her academic interests lie in combinatorial aspects of polyhedral geometry, tropical geometry, and commutative algebra.
The Fachgruppe Computeralgebra promotes teaching, research, development, applications, and collaboration in the broad field of computer algebra across Germany. It regularly awards several prizes to recognize outstanding scientific achievements, including the Young Talent Award, prizes for the best poster presentation and the best software demo at the ISSAC conference, and, since 2024, a prize for outstanding dissertations.
Raffaella Mulas, who successfully finished her PhD studies at our institute recently, has been honored in her home of Sardinia with a special award. In 2020 she was declared “Donna di Scienza giovani”.
Congratulations to Ivan Yaroslavtsev! His dissertation on Martingales and Stochastic Calculus in Banach Spaces was awarded the Stieltjes Prize for the best mathematical dissertation published in the academic year 2018/2019 in the Netherlands.
Congratulations to Sven Banisch and Eckehard Olbrich. They have been awarded this year's Anatol Rapoport Prize by the German Society for Sociology for their research on the influence of social feedback on opinion polarization.
We would to like to congratulate our former scientists Martina Hofmanová and Julian Fischer who rank among Europe's best young researchers. For their excellent work they have each been awarded an ERC Starting Grant.
Our former postdoc María Ángeles García-Ferrero was just honored by the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society (RSME) with the José Luis Rubio de Francia prize 2019.
Tinggui Zhang and Damián Blasi, both former PhD students of Jürgen Jost, have been awarded the “South China Sea Masters” youth project funding and the Robert J. Glushko dissertation prizes in cognitive science, respectively.
The German Chemical Society honors Prof. Dr. Guillermo Restrepo with the Gmelin-Beilstein memorial medal. The scientist is recognized for his scientific expertise in the fields of mathematics, history and philosophy of chemistry.
We would like to congratulate our former IMPRS and PhD student Tim Laux on his appointment as Bonn Junior Fellow at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM) in January of this year.
