And so can the data collected in the process. When the data has repeats, overlaps, or isn’t directly tied to an on-the-ground measurement, standard […]
UCLA Mathematics Professor Zhouli Xu has been awarded the 2025-2026 AMS Centennial Research Fellowship. He was selected based on his outstanding research in algebraic topology. His main research interests are classical, motivic and equivariant stable homotopy groups of spheres, with connections and applications to algebraic geometry and geometric topology. “I am deeply honored to receive […]
Photo Credit: Quanta Magazine, Math’s ‘Bunkbed Conjecture’ Has Been Debunked. “Hollom found a counterexample to this version of the conjecture. He created a small hypergraph whose edges each connected three vertices.“ A research team consisting of Professor Igor Pak, UCLA PhD Candidate Nikita Gladkov, and MIT PhD Candidate Aleksandr Zimin have proven the ‘Bunkbed Conjecture’ […]
UCLA Math Professor Ernest Ryu was awarded the 2024 INFORMS Optimization Society Prize for Young Researchers. This prestigious award was established in 1998 and is awarded annually at the INFORMS Annual Meeting to young researchers for an outstanding paper in optimization. Specifically, the award recognizes the paper entitled “Uniqueness of DRS as the 2 operator […]
