AMS Graduate Student Chapter Colloquium
Dr. June Huh will give the annual AMS Graduate Student Chapter Colloquium, which will take place on Friday, March 1 at 4 pm in 115 Avery Hall. Dr. Huh is a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University whose research is primarily in combinatorial algebraic geometry. He started out as a physics and astronomy major at Seoul National University with the intention of becoming a scientific journalist, but in his last year of his undergraduate studies he met Heisuke Hironaka, a famed Japanese mathematician and Fields Medalist, who encouraged him to study mathematics. He has won numerous awards for his work, with the most recent being the 2019 New Horizons Prize for early-career achievement in mathematics.
Dr. Huh’s talk will be on “Lorentzian Polynomials”, and will be accessible to graduate students and advanced undergraduate students.
