Two Mathematics faculty members have been honored recently by their professional peers.
Philip Protter, Professor of Mathematics and Statistics, was installed as a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics on August 7 at the IMS summer meeting in Chicago. IMS fellows are a select group of probabilists and statisticians.
John Cushman, Professor of Agronomy and Mathematics, was named a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union for his seminal contributions to the understanding of transport in porous media. The number of AGU fellows selected annually is limited to no more than 0.10f the AGU membership.
David Goldberg, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, is one of seven Purdue scientists and engineers among 337 nationwide working on projects funded by the National Science Foundation's Early Career Development Awards. These awards are made to junior level university faculty to encourage them early in their careers as educators and researchers. Goldberg works in the field of representation theory of reductive groups. This field occupies one corner of the Langlands program, which seeks to establish functorial reciprocity maps between objects in harmonic analysis, number theory, and geometry.
Marius Dadarlat was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure effective August 1996. Professor Dadarlat works in the area of C*-algebras. He received a B.S. from the University of Cluj, an M.S. from the University of Bucharest, and was a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy from 1983-90. After receiving a Ph.D. from UCLA in 1991, Dadarlat spent a year at the University of Maryland before coming to Purdue as Assistant Professor in 1992.
