Bryna Kra Elected as a Member of the Chilean Academy of Sciences
NU Mathematics faculty member, Prof. Bryna Kra, has been elected a Corresponding Foreign Member of La Academia Chilena de Ciencias, the Chilean Academy of Sciences. The members of the Academy are of four categories: Number, National Correspondents, Foreign Correspondents, and Honoraries.
Prof. Bryna Kra's work on resolving an old conjecture of Erdős was written up in a December 2022 article in Quanta Magazine.

Prof. Zaslow Appointed as New Noyes Chair
NU Mathematics faculty member, Prof. Eric Zaslow, has been appointed as the new Henry Sanborn Noyes Chair in Mathematics. This endowed chair is one of the oldest in the university. It was established in honor of Henry Sanborn Noyes, one of the first two faculty members in the university and acting president from 1854-1856 and 1860-1867. This appointment acknowledges Eric's many accomplishments in research, teaching and service.

Prof. Yuri I. Manin, 1937-2023
Professor Emeritus Yuri Manin passed away on January 7, 2023 at the age of 85. He was Board of Trustees Professor of Mathematics at Northwestern from 2002 until 2011. Yuri Manin was a leading mathematician of his generation. His wide interests included algebraic geometry, diophantine geometry, logic, mathematical physics and quantum computing. Among his many accolades, Manin was the first winner of Northwestern's Nemmer Prize in Mathematics, in 1994. It was an honor for the department that he joined us as a faculty member eight years later. We mourn the loss of a great mathematician.
