Graduate Student Jacque Davis Wins Best Poster Award
Graduate student Jacque Davis has won an award from the American Women in Mathematics (AWM) for Most Outstanding Graduate Student Research Poster at the 2014 Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM) in Baltimore in January 2014. The JMM is the largest mathematics meeting in the world, held jointly by the American Mathematical Association and the Mathematical Association of America.
Davis?s research interests are in the areas of computational harmonic analysis, inverse problems, and sampling theory. Her winning poster was titled “Spatio-temporal Sampling Schemes in Evolutionary Systems.? She is currently a fifth-year graduate student working under the supervision of Prof. Akram Aldroubi.
As part of her award, Davis will be invited to participate in a workshop in her area of interest at one of the National Science Foundation?s eight mathematical sciences institutes located at various universities in the U.S. The exact location is still to be determined.
Davis will receive her Ph.D. in May 2014. She will spend fall 2014 as a postdoctoral fellow at ICERM (Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics) at Brown University during their semester program on High Dimensional Data Analysis. Following that, she has accepted a postdoctoral position at Arizona State University beginning in spring 2015.
