June 19, 2015Graduating senior Michael Lindsey won the university’s Kennedy Award for the best undergraduate thesis in the natural sciences. Michael’s thesis originated in a team project with SURIM, the Stanford Undergraduate Research in Mathematics program, directed by Dr. Yanir Rubinstein in the Summer of 2012. Michael’s work led to an algorithm with which, using sophisticated arguments from functional analysis and partial differential equations, he was able to prove converges to a solution of the optimal transport problem, a very active topic in current mathematical research.
June 10, 2015Math PhD candidate Otis Chodosh is one of the four winners of the 2015 Walter J. Gores Award. The Gores Awards are the university’s highest teaching honor.
For additional information, please see the announcement in the Stanford Report.
