The 'Recent Trends in Ergodic Theory, Symbolic Dynamics, and Connections to Combinatorics' conference will be held at Northwestern University, Evanston, IL August 31 – September 4, 2026. We will convene leading experts in ergodic Ramsey theory and symbolic dynamics in order to foster scientific collaboration, exchange ideas, and catalyze new research directions.
The conference, Dynamics and Geometry, will celebrate the mathematics and research of NU Mathematics faculty member, Prof. Keith Burns. It will be held May 6–8, 2027 by Northwestern University. The organizers are Aaron Brown (Northwestern University), Boris Hasselblatt (Tufts University), Yan Mary He (University of Oklahoma), and Bryna Kra (Northwestern University).
NU Math graduate student, Tristan Radić, was awarded a 2026 Simons Dissertation Fellowship in Mathematics. The Simons Dissertation Fellowship in Mathematics provides research support to excellent graduate students in the final years of their Ph.D. studies.
NU Math faculty member, Prof. Bryna Kra, is among the mathematicians and researchers who authored the Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics, released June 2.
Andrei Okounkov has won the 2026 Nemmers Prize in Mathematics! The Frederic Esser Nemmers Prize in Mathematics is a prestigious biennal award which recognizes mathematicians who have made lasting contributions to new knowledge or significant new modes of analysis.
