黑料社 Associate Professor of Math Dr. Katherine Vance has been accepted to the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath) program for Summer Research in Mathematics.聽Vance will be in residence at SLMath in Berkeley, Calif., in June 2025 for the program, which provides space, funding and opportunity for in-person collaborative research.

Vance and her project collaborators will continue a research project they made significant strides on during Vance鈥檚 sabbatical in spring 2024.聽SLMath will also fund post-program travel to continue their research and present at conferences.

鈥淕etting accepted into this program is meaningful because it shows a recognition of the research work that my collaborators and I are engaged in,鈥� said Vance.聽 鈥淭he two weeks we will have at the SLMath Institute will fuel and accelerate my research over the next few years.鈥�

Based on the fact that each researcher teaches at a primarily undergraduate institution, Vance鈥檚 team calls itself the Topology Intersect Teaching Collaborative. Researchers include Anthony Bosman (Andrews University), Chris Davis (University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire), Taylor Martin (Sam Houston State University), and Sarah Seger (Concordia College-Moorhead, Minn.).聽The team鈥檚 project is entitled 鈥淪tructure of Link Homotopy: Gordian Distance and Beyond.鈥�

According to its website, SLMath is recognized for bringing together leading minds in mathematics for more than 40 years as a National Science Foundation supported research institute.
