Faculty Honoured

Professor’s Yael Karshon and Stephen Kudla were recently honoured by the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) for their great contributions to teaching and research.

Professor Yael Karshon was honoured with the 2009 Krieger-Nelson Prize. Awarded for her work with symmetries of symplectic manifolds, formalized as Hamiltonian group actions.

Professor Stephen Kudla was honoured with the 2009 Jeffery-Williams Prize. He was awarded for his work on forming connections between the theory of automorphic forms and the theory of algebraic cycles on Shimura varieties.

Further information on both these prestigious awards can be found in the CMS Notes, Volume 41, No. 6 (October 2009) (pages 8 and 9)

Congratulations to them both!
