Dr. Zhiqin Lu has received a $400,000 CAREER
award from the National Science Foundation. This Faculty Early Career
Development Program offers the NSF's most prestigious awards for new
faculty members who show promise as leaders of the 21st century.
It is noteworthy that this award has an educational component in addition
to the research component. Zhiqin's involvement with Mathcounts, Freshman
Seminars, and his research supervision of graduate and undergraduate
students played a key role in his receiving the award.
The MATHCOUNTS state competition will be held on Saturday, March 12, 2016, in the UCI Student Center's Pacific Ballroom and Crystal Cove Auditorium from 9 a.m. until about 3 p.m.

Professor Charles Fefferman will be visiting the Department of Mathematics from April 5th through April 8 th as part of the Department's Distinguished Lecture Series. He will be giving two talks.
Professor Edriss Titi has been elected to be the Program Director for the SIAM Activity Group on Analysis of Partial Differential Equations. He will serve as Program Director through December 2012. "The Activity Group on Analysis of Partial Differential Equations fosters activity in the analysis of partial differential equations (PDE) and enhances communication between analysts, computational scientists and the broad PDE community.
Professor Gunther Uhlmann, the Excellence in Teaching Endowed Chair in Mathematics at UCI, has been appointed a Rothschild Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Isaac Newton Institute. More information about the Rothschild Visiting Professors program can be found here.
Professor Gunther Uhlmann, the Excellence in Teaching Endowed Chair in Mathematics at UCI, has won the 2011 Bôcher Memorial Prize by American Mathematical Society (AMS) for his fundamental work on inverse problems, his incisive work on boundary rigidity and nonuniqueness (also known as cloaking).
Professor Gunther Uhlmann has been invited to present the 6th AMS Einstein Public Lecture in Mathematics, which will be held at the George Washington University campus, in Washington D.C., on Saturday, March 17, 2012. The AMS Einstein Public Lecture is given annually at one of the Society's eight sectional meetings. The lectures began in 2005, to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of Einstein's annus mirabilis, the year 1905, which marked the publication of three fundamental papers by Albert Einstein that changed the course of twentieth-century physics.
Professor Zhiqin Lu has been invited to give plenary lecture at Spring 2012 Meeting of the AMS Western Section. The American Mathematical Society is only able to honor seven or eight mathematicians annually with invitations to deliver Invited Addresses to Western Section Meetings.
