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).
The aim of this program-- organized by Alan Chang (Washington University), Xiumin Du (Northwestern) and Rachel Greenfeld (Northwestern)-- is to introduce graduate students and postdoctoral researchers working in related areas to recent developments in these fields. The school will be held at Northwestern University from July 26-July 30, 2027.
The department was saddened to learn of the recent death of Noah Wisdom. Noah received his PhD from our department in 2026 under the direction of Mike Hill (University of Minnesota), with a thesis titled "Towards the right LEFT: examples and properties of equivariantly Landweber exact spectra." More recently he was a Sverker Lerheden fellow and NSF postdoc at Stockholm University. A memorial event will be held later this year.
Together with Maryanthe Malliaris (UChicago) and Caroline Terry (UIC), NU Mathematics announces the next meeting of the Analysis and Additive Combinatorics in Chicago (AACC) on Nov. 12th. The AACC is a regional seminar aimed at fostering a vibrant local research community among graduate students, postdocs, and faculty across our institutions, as well as connecting with the broader global network in these areas.
