Bourdon studies geometric objects called elliptic curves. “Elliptic curves are among the most ubiquitous objects in modern number theory,” said Bourdon, who holds the A.J. Sterge Faculty Fellowship. “They have far-reaching applications, both in theoretical mathematics – such as in the proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem – and in information…
The chair who nominated the recipient of this year’s Teaching Professionals Award for Excellence in Teaching succinctly relayed that this professor “is a superb example of what a teaching professional can be,” from curriculum development and professional development to undergraduate research support and classroom settings. The department chair and associate…
Staci Hepler is an expert in spatial statistics, spatial epidemiology, and computational statistics. Her research develops applied statistical methodology to answer urgent questions in ecology and public health, with a particular emphasis on the opioid crisis in the United States. She blends two rare talents. First, she carefully derives the…

Dr. Erhardt’s grant proposal, “Spatial Considerations for Flood Insurance Portfolio Diversification”, will be funded by the Casualty Actuarial Society. This project will quantify how climate change is expected to impact the ability of insurance companies to manage flood risk in North America. The project is joint with Mathieu Boudreault, at…
The 2022 Gentry Lectures will be given by Athanassios Spyridon Fokas, Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) of the University of Cambridge. Dr. Fokas is a Greek mathematician with degrees in Aeronautical Engineering and Medicine. Since 2002, he has been a Professor of Nonlinear Mathematical Science in the…
Rob Erhardt and Staci Hepler’s grant proposal “Scalable Models, Fast Computation and Predictability for Spatio-temporal Ordinal Data” was awarded by the National Science Foundation. The project will develop new statistical methodology for ordinal spatio-temporal data, and deploy it to improve drought prediction in conjunction with the National Drought Mitigation Center….
