Greetings from Bonn
As part of my faculty development fellowship during the 2022–23 academic year, I have had the wonderful opportunity to spend three months at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics (MPIM) in Bonn, Germany. There are 81 Max Planck Institutes all over Germany (and five more elsewhere), but MPIM is unique in that it’s the only one devoted entirely to pure mathematics. Read More

View from the Chair: Petronela Radu
This summer I had the honor to start serving as the 16th chair in the history of the Department of Mathematics. I see this new role as an opportunity to give back to a wonderful department that has provided both a home and a solution to a “two-body problem.” My husband, Mikil Foss, and I are fortunate to be one of the many (over a dozen!) couples hired by the department, which has always recognized that many mathematicians love doing homework and discussing mathematics together, a concept that often leads to long-term partnerships.
