Graduate Research Awards (2016)

The winners of the Mathematics Department's Graduate Research Awards for 2016 have now been named:

  • Rob Fraser and John Ma, joint winners for Pure Mathematics
  • Alejandra Herrera, winner for Applied mathematics

Please join us in congratulating Alejandra, John and Rob on their excellent research conducted during their time at UBC. Alejandra has developed a model for protein turnover that is crucial to experimental biology, John has made substantial progress on the mean curvature flow of Lagrangian surfaces, and Rob's strengths lie in a variety of areas from harmonic analysis on local fields to patterns in sparse sets. Each award winner will be invited to give a Departmental Colloquium, where you can learn more about their work.
