Six PhD students recently received word that they will be receiving a fellowship for the Winter Semester!
Five of the students will receive the Rackham One-term Dissertation Fellowship. This fellowship covers their tuition, stipend and benefits. The fellowship rewards students who have been doing strong work, and gives them the opportunity to focus on writing for a semester. We are grateful to Rackham for this funding. The students receiving the Rackham fellowship are:
Angus Chung (working with Kartik Prasanna)
Montek Gill (working with Igor Kriz)
Yifeng Huang (working with Michael Zieve)
Gilyoeng Chen (working with Michael Zieve)
Matt Olson (working with Charlie Doering)
In addition, Joe Kraisler was chosen as the Department’s Allen Shields Fellow for the Winter Semester. Joe is working with John Schotland on mathematical physics. This fellowship honors the memory of Professor Allen Shields, who was a brilliant functional analyst, gifted teacher and beloved mentor to Math PhD students until cancer took him in 1989. The fellowship was established with a gift from his widow, Smilka Zdravkovska, herself a mathematician who worked at Math Reviews here in Ann Arbor for many years.
