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. It is named after Ruth I. Michler, a German-American mathematician born at Cornell, who died in a road accident at the age of 33.
The award was first offered in 2007. Its winners and their lectures have included:
- Rebecca Goldin, "The Geometry of Polygons"
- Irina Mitrea, "Boundary-Value Problems for Higher-Order Elliptic Operators"
