Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize

The Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize is an annual prize in mathematics, awarded by the Association for Women in Mathematics to honor outstanding research by a female mathematician who has recently earned tenure. The prize funds the winner to spend a semester as a visiting faculty member at Cornell University, working with the faculty there and presenting a distinguished lecture on their research.[1][2] It is named after Ruth I. Michler (1967–2000), a German-American mathematician born at Cornell, who died young in a construction accident.[3]

The award was first offered in 2007. Its winners and their lectures have included:[1][2][4]

  • Rebecca Goldin (2007), "The Geometry of Polygons"
  • Irina Mitrea (2008), "Boundary-Value Problems for Higher-Order Elliptic Operators"
