Professor J. Kahl receives 2006 UWM Alumni Association Award for
Teaching Excellence.
Professor Albert Milani will be spending the Fall 2006 semester at the
Pontificia Universidad Catolica in Santiago, Chile. He has been
awarded a research and teaching grant from the Fulbright Foundation.
The research project concerns investigation of the long time behavior
of solutions to quasilinear evolutions; some background material will
be offered as a graduate course.Prof. Milani also gave the IV annual Lagrangian Lecture at his Alma Mater, the University of Turin, Italy, on May 16, 2006.
Professors Jay Beder and Bruce Wade promoted to Full Professor
effective beginning of 2006-2007 academic year.

Teaching Award.
Professor Eric Key promoted to Full Professor effective beginning
2005-2006 academic year.
Professor Gabriella Pinter was selected to receive one of the 2005
Graduate School/UWM Foundation Research Awards.
UWM undergraduate student, America Masaros, is listed among the top
participants in the 2004
Putnam exam due to her high score.
Professor Paul Humke of St. Olaf College has received the UWM 2005
Distinguished Alumnus Award.

Graduate Students Kseniya
Fuhrman and Ponmalar
Ratnam attended the Opening Workshop of the SAMSI program on Genomes to
Global Health: Computational Biology of Infectious Disease, which was held
September 19-22, 2004. The Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences
Institute provided their travel support. The program and other information
about the workshop is available at the workshop website
www.samsi.info/200405/compbio/compbio-workshop2000409.html.
Professor Bruce Wade
will be spending part of the Spring 2005 semester at the University of
Salamanca in Spain. He has been awarded a research grant of 31,300 Euros
(about $37,500) by the Spanish Ministry of Education to work at the
University of Salamanca, Spain, during 2005. The project concerns
numerical analysis and applications to stochastic differential equations as
well as financial mathematics. Professor R. Zhang from the
University of Sydney visited us during Summer 2004 and taught a graduate
course entitled: Quantum Field Theory and Knot Invariants. Professor Paul Roebber
promoted to Full Professor effective beginning of 2004-2005 academic year.

During Summer 2004 Professor Milani will spend one month at the Sorbonne
as an invited Visiting Professor, and will be giving a graduate seminar on
nonlinear evolution equations. Professor Milani will also spend one month
at the Universitaet Giessen as an Exchange Visiting Professor and will be
teaching a graduate seminar on nonlinear semiflows.Two of our graduate students
gave talks at the Seventy-second Annual Meeting of the MAA Wisconsin
Section held at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, April 16-17, 2004:
Professor Paul J. Roebber
won a 2004 Editor's Award from the American Meteorological Society
(AMS), the nation's leading professional society for those in the
atmospheric and related sciences.
Professor Jay Beder won the
following awards:
Professor Kyle Swanson
wins Graduate School Research Award May 2003.
Professor Craig Guilbault
promoted to Full Professor effective beginning of 2003-2004 academic year.
Department now has
Matlab in our
Computer Classroom E 424.
Department receives College
of Letters and Science Lab Modernization Grants, 2003, 2002, 2001. In
2001 we equipped our calculus computer classroom with new desks, chairs,
and a document camera. The desks are such that the computers and monitors
are embedded in the desks, allowing students use of the desk top and clear
viewing of instructor presentations. In 2002 we upgraded the Atmospheric
Science Teaching Lab and in 2003 are upgrading the computers in our Computer Classroom/Lab
E 423. Many thanks to all involved.
Professor Nils
Ackermann from the University of Giessen visited us during Summer 2003 and
taught a graduate course titled: Minimax Methods in the Calculus of
Variations.
Professor Jonathan Kahl
is on sabbatical this year and received a Fulbright Research Scholar Award
to work and study at the National University of Mexico (September -
December 2003)conducting collaborative research on the sources and
meteorological processes related to acid rain damage
to ancient Mayan monuments in Veracruz, Mexico.
Professor Kevin McLeod
is on sabbatical and is spending the year at the University of Auckland,
New Zealand.
Professor Jonathan
Kahl has been nominated for the American Association for the Advancement
of Science (AAAS) award for Public Understanding of Science and
Technology.
