Professor Terence Tao has been chosen as the 2022 recipient of the Grand Médaille of the French Academy of Sciences. “It is no exaggeration to call him the ‘Mozart of mathematics’ and he managed to go from being a child prodigy (we see him discussing at 10 years old with Paul Erdös, winning a gold medal […]
It is with great sadness to write that Professor Emeritus Paul Roberts passed away on November 17th. He joined the UCLA Mathematics department in 1986 as a joint appointment with the Geophysical Sciences Department after receiving his PhD from Cambridge University in 1954. He joined UCLA as a Chair in the Math Department and a […]
Through the Applied Mathematics Mentorship Program(AMMP), UCLA students are encouraging young Latino and Black seventh to ninth graders to incorporate math into their communities and real life settings. The program also strives to build confidence in the students to believe in their math skills and that they have the capability to excel in the field […]
In the 2022 Putnam Mathematical Competition, the UCLA team were ranked #7 out of 456 institutions. Individually, Zachary Tu and Runze Yu received honorable mentions for ranking in the top 100 nationwide. Varit Chantranuwathana, Issac Li, and Alvin Liu placed amongst the 101-200 ranks. Other high scorers who placed in the 201-500 ranks were Xuanhao Cui, […]
Dr. Sarah Burnett has been awarded the 2022 L’Oréal USA For Women in Science Fellowship, being one of the five women postdoctoral scientists chosen this year. Her research focuses on the flow of particle-liquid mixtures. Understanding how fluids behave when solids are incorporated is crucial for various applications such as mining, food processing, pharmaceuticals and during landslides. […]
“Hou, later joined by Chen, took advantage of the fact that, upon closer analysis, the approximate solution from 2013 seemed to have a special structure. As the equations evolved through time, the solution displayed what’s called a self-similar pattern: Its shape later on looked a lot like its earlier shape, only re-scaled in a specific […]
Professor Terence Tao has been named Global Australian of the Year by Advance.org — a federally funded organization that highlights the work of Australian high achievers. “Despite routinely being dubbed the ‘Mozart of maths’ in media articles, the 47-year-old speaks of his accomplishments with deep modesty, almost diffidence — but they are undeniable, nonetheless. If he has a […]
Joaquin Moraga will be joining the department as an assistant professor in July 2022. He earned his PhD in Mathematics at the University of Utah in Summer 2019. During his PhD at the University of Utah, under the advice of Chirstopher Hacon, his research focused on the minimal model program. After finishing his PhD, Moraga […]
